Also I advertised it on Facebook and through that I discovered something I would not have known.

Anything less than large institutional investments (multi-million dollar deals) and I wouldn't worry.

I just finished taking an online course through GIRE(Georgia Institute of Real Estate, georgiarealestate.education), online is very nice, but I would definitely not recommend the course provider that I used. 

If you work with an advisor that uses their institutional platform you will potentially gain access to more ETF funds and differing allocation %'s.

Anybody have any experience or heard anything about the Distressed Real Estate Institute based in Boca Raton, Florida?

I discovered BiggerPockets while we were on the move and found I am drawn to real estate.

Sutherland I would contact an appraiser with a MAI designation from the Appraisal Institute and pay them a consulting fee to evaluate the lease.  

I would have broke out the $15 hand snake if necessary.If you've already done that, I'd'd call a plumber and decide what to do when the source of the problem is discovered like @Michael Woodward suggests.  

Hi, I'm looking for some other opinions on this situation we (my wife and I) have found ourselves in.We discovered BiggerPockets just under a year ago and have been steadily listening to every podcast.

For example, the park I viewed is an "8 space" park, however there are seven homes, 2 known vacancies and upon our arrival we discovered a third vacant home needing repairs and cleaning.
