And as for the property, I don't know much about that area, I was more just running numbers on the properties I found online to get the hang of it, I hadn't studied the neighborhood.

We plan to hang our hat with a broker in January in the Wilmington/Newark area. 

That is my biggest hang up at the moment.

Part of the neighbor’s overhang from what looks to be an illegal unit in their backyard is hanging over the lot.

Welcome to BP Andrew Briggs As a fellow "weekend warrior" in the dfw area I can tell you that finding deals is TOUGH, hang in there though and good luck!

If it is going up in value 10% a year it makes more sense to hang onto it and take a loan against it. 

While working in the kitchen [by far the most labor intensive room] I will occassionally catch a whiff of fragrant bread baking or a turkey being roasted and imagine the people [the love] that had filled this tiny house during holidays.I have even attached names to the jug-eared,freckle-faced youth I visualize hanging from the limbs of the tree right outside of the mudroom, and the aproned woman urging me to repair the frame holding the incredible stained-glass artwork in one of the windows.And the names and faces?  

I know I can acquire more properties by financing and hanging on to my cash for more down payments.

My text box is equally full and I get the message below:It was just crazy, my wife woke me up at about 1:30 this morning because of all the screaming and yelling I got up the girl was outside covered in blood and they wouldn't let the cops in so they left about 30 minutes later, we were going back to bed after they left and that's when Vaugn was trying to come in thru the bedroom window saying he was gonna shoot us so I warned him that if he came threw the window I was going to shoot him to stay out, the sons bailed and the police could not find them but the girl was there , I don't understand why Vaun is freaking out but his son came and talk to Steph and I around 9:00 and told us he hadn't slept in days and was freaking out,,, the cop that took the reports told us he was being airlifted to hospital because his eye was hanging out of the socket from getting beat by his sons and that his ribs had been broken...

I want to take my time learning and getting the hang of things.
