@Jennifer Petrillo Well done on the flip, the house looks gorgeous!!

And yes, as an agent doing a prelim on any potential listing is a given.Even though many sellers will lie through their teeth to me about property and estate issues, I gotta say I usually give them the benefit of the doubt when it comes to lien issues.

Oddly enough today I happened to take a new route and ran right into a little gorgeous lakefront community, with guess what - one ugly boarded up house.

I don't like what their teeth and claws and pee and poop do to my property doors, door jambs, walls, wood floors, vinyl, carpets, window blinds, flower beds (cat poop and scratching), and back yard (dog poop and digging).  

It is gorgeous!

@Ian Barnes that's great advice , I was looking to offer them something at first I offered them like 250 and something for a moving truck but after talking to him I see that they were looking big bucks like a 1000 and I wasn't ready to part with it. honestly something snapped in me a few minutes ago and I went from being pissed off to just wanted to sink my teeth into.

I have been looking into and learning about investing in real estate for some time and am looking to start pulling the trigger and cut my teeth. 

I doubt it.As far as the DODD FRANK ACT goes, yes, that was quite the gut punch, but we in the Mortgage Industry who are still standing have and deal with the crushing over-regulations every day.But this Realtor Rebate thing is a whole new threat gathering steam against the Mortgage Industry and I'm arming myself to the teeth with my Rebate Realtor partners to deal with what's ahead!

, brushing my teeth, washing my hands, drinking, etc.

Use a circular saw with a lot of teeth in the blade.
