I would do lots of photos and document what you moved and stored.

., being on a corner lot allows easier access to storing them 'out back.'

Last I checked, there were plenty of grocery stores on both sides of the river.

I am seeing a lot of folks comment on other forums about not purchasing from larger stores (Home Depot/Lowes etc).

When I go into a convenience store, I expect the guy behind the counter to check me out without yapping on his phone.

A good idea is to call local home improvement stores (Ace Hardware, local small lumber yards) and ask if they can refer contractors or subs.

Every retailer, from Mom and Pop's General Store to Wal Mart, buys wholesale and sells retail.

Instead, keep the 1st as a Sub and make sure you have in your Sub2 addendum that the seller is NOT allowed to take out a HELOC, Instead, YOU take out a HELOC as a 2nd considering HELOC's are much easier to qualify for and it's like a checking account that you could use in the future like, buy a few more houses Sub2 or even more importantly, if you take some money out of the HELOC and store it away safely in case the 1st calls due, you can use what you put away safely as a down payment for a conventional loan paying off the 1st/HELOC.

You only have to look at how many empty big-box store building there are around the country to understand that.

I'm willing to do the hard work, but I'm just short on the knowledge and guidance to make money.Brian,I was out at the local store and his house was on the way so I swung buy to check out the outside condition of the property.
