Thanks for the tip, Amanda. 

Once I figure out what all those options are ;)Thanks for the tips!

Thank you for the tip Mark.

If not, are there tips you can share on how to judge how much life is left in your furnace/boiler or central air system?

Would this be a good property to invest in and are there any tips for a first time property manager?

I am trying to purchase off of the MLS - and I will add that just having integrity and following up will put you way ahead - so many of the agents I talk to want me to buy their listing and they will not find out about any other listings I am interested in, and once I show a preference to a different listing they disappear - I dont know if this is the way it has become and granted I am looking in the low budget area that is not going to give them a great commission - but according to what I have read, it is not what the realtor is supposed to do.any realtor tips & comments on how I might get more cooperation appreciated.

Thanks for all the tips B.P going for the Buy a Million Own a Million Net a Million, I'm also more interested in commercial properties now then the Rental's what are your thoughts with commercial VS residential?
