In my state, CA, there are different level of powers, best evident by examining a document alternatively called probate Letters Testamentary (if subject the decedent's will) or Letters of Administration (intestate - no will).

@Steven Scott  I am in your same boat pretty much.

While I'm aware of the power of leveraging, part of keeping a happy wife means keeping any business activities paid for in cash. 

The question I ask people that want to carry is simple, besides knowing how to shoot a gun, are you totally willing and able to pull the trigger.Many people learn the mechanics of how to shoot, but aren't totally sure they could/would if put in that situation.If you are going to carry, many people like 9mm, however I don't really like the lack of knock down power (as a friend who was a chief of police for 20 years said, it will kill someone,  but it doesn't tell you body your dying very fast).A 40 caliber, I have a chiefs special, is a fairly small gun that has some knock down power, it is also VERY loud ,,,,I don't care if I hit them or they run away, as long as they leave!

I'm exceptionally impressed with the power of PropertyRadar and it's incredible value.I must also disclose that Sean O'toole is a friend of mine. 

Jacksonville Beach is a subset of duval running from the intercoastal waterway (which is east of the property indicated) to the ocean.You can definitely bike over that bridge (there is even a bike lane) but keep in mind that bridge peaks up a bit so boats can go under it and it would be a pretty hard ride to get to the beach in 20 minutes.Amend definition, if you're willing to be west of the intercoastal, there are a lot of properties that could be had for $100k.

But I don't wanna shoot myself in the foot if there's a smarter way of doing this.I talked to a friend who said I should get a "lease to" option drafted & a power of attorney to make decision for the home.

I was in the same boat, just graduated a semester ago and through out college i wanted to invest in property, however i waited, saved and then once i had a career paying a steady income I purchased my first property.  

But if you are thinking buy/hold, you are probably a believer the power of long term appreciation.  

Learning from the experiences of folks like you is a very powerful and helpful thing.Thanks again!
