I remember hearing a story from one of the guys I worked with at LM-Aero about a neighbor offering to shoot someone for him when he lived in Waco.

We talked about maybe doing something hybrid, where the seller would get a share of any profit above a certain point when the house sells, as well as my lease payment being $100 more than the mortgage to give them some money in the meantime, so would it be reasonable to shoot for no money up front?

If it is a bid job and the building inspector wants to "shoot the breeze" I take the time because I'm spending my money.

Feel free to shoot me a PM if you want his contact info...

Don't use a little point 'n shoot with a tiny flash, or your cell phone camera.

One is to buy over 100 acres and develop cash, put and take bird hunting and make it into a shooting club.

The ductwork ran through the attic and with the reduced flow, the temp of the air leaving the duct on that run was well above the temp of the other ducts.The reduced flow was not really noticeable - I identified the problem by shooting the temp of all the vents with an IR temp gun.All vents had temps in the high 50's, low 60's, a vent to one room had a temp in the mid 70's - traced that vent back to the trunk and found the damper mostly closed.You couldn't see the issue without partially removing the insulated ductwork from the HVAC trunk.Any vent with an abnormally high exiting air temp compared to the rest of the vents would be an indication of a problem (damper closed, leaky duct, insulation missing from duct etc).

Send me a pm and I can shoot you a couple of pointers.

If you can get a 120k house for 40k that needs 10-15k in repairs to rent it out and you can make 1200/mnth, go after those deals instead of buying 10k houses in shoot em up bang bang neighborhoods where you will probably NEVER be able to sell in the future.
