You really need to learn about the process and get better at spotting an efficient experienced contractor over a disoriented unrealistic one.

You'll need a hub and enough cable to run the cable to each spot + repeaters, depending on the area you need ot cover.Figure 1-2K outlay (roughly) plus your monthly bill.Of course that doesn't include the cost of paying someone to set it up for you;)

Aaron, There is a big newer furnace, same as any other building in Canada I inspected, pretty much.8 parking spots, right now with the rents being cheap and units not being in good shape, tenants generally don't have cars.

I wonder if I should read between some of the lines in this thread, LOL, agreed, we are not all here for business, but dpending on what you do (investing out of state or even assisting others doing so) it seems BP is the spot to be in order to grow your business.I'm not a techie, I'm old fashioned in many ways and I don't tweet, but even I can see the potential.Branding yourself is always an important part of doing business, any business!

Bill- it looks like we're the only ones in the correct spot!

Its funny how people are able to spot my biggest weakness with just one post.

That puts you in a position to be of value to someone with more experience and access to money.Jason was "spot on" when he suggested getting out to REIA meeting and getting to know people.

Usually the seller can't afford to make repairs (that's why they are doing a short sale - they are in a financial difficult spot) and you can bet the banks won't do the work either.

I think you're spot on Rich - especially with concentrating your mortgages onto certain properties.

-make sure doors and windows open and close properly if some of them don't could indicate structural problems-check ceilings for water stains or stains that might be covered up with paint, or rough spots on walls could indicate water damage or possibly mold-ask seller to purchase a home warranty in your offer just in case heater or central air takes a dump-make sure floors are level, if not check beams, or foundation outside for cracks these are some major things to look for, but not deal breakers at least for me. these can get you big discounts and can be fixed
