What I would really like is to meet a local agent or broker who deals primarily with RE investors, commercial or resi, and just spend a day shadowing you, seeing what the job involves, and learning.

What about some bold black/dark colored details to add contrast with the white?

I disagreed with the cop, it wasn't dark yet, dusk maybe.

After giving Alan Kirkham 5 months to right this wrong and come up with a fair resolution, we have been left in the dark with no set plans or expectations and no true point of contact, which is why we have decided to share our experience here.This whole experience was a huge disappointment, waste of money and time!

If you're unsure, I would say put a minimum of 30% of the funds you received aside for taxes and use the rest to invest towards that goal you want.If it helps set you at ease, none of our clients have ever been "killed" by the IRS, we haven't seen that dark side of them, yet.

Case in point: LA city... and most recently, in the dark of night without warning, Pomona.I know there will be some on this forum who may disagree and will have their personal stories of how to overcome it and work around it.

I have decided to come out of the shadows, I just sold my first rehabbed house in Cleveland, Ohio and decided to make the trek south.

Cons are that short sales can be complicated transactions to complete, timely, and you may be left in the dark as a buyer with poor agent communication.

I want them to see what it looks like to take a shot and they've got to see me speak on TV & stage, win awards & praise and they've seen me come home of stories of dead bats falling out of ceilings, cleaning up dog crap in dark basement corners, sucking out water from flooded basements for hours, bloodied, bruised, ect. ect. ect. and now be served with papers. 

I sat through a mind numbingly boring 2 1/2 hour meeting, shadowing a buyer's agent, just to learn one thing.
