"Yes you need a new heater," Jonathan said"Probably about 7-10 grand," I asked."

Its resulted in $100/m positive cash flow with a few grand into the deal (holding costs and private lender interest).

Demand a "nonrefundable" Earnest money deposit of at least a grand.

For instance, if a serviceman buys a home, replaces the carpeting with hardwood floors himself, and sells his house 3 months later because he is being deployed for a few grand more than he paid, he will not be considered an owner and could face some repercussions because he didn't have his hardwood floor installation managed by a licensed general contractor.

Grand & Mike I get your point.

Say this to yourself a couple of times..AGENTS MAKE NO MONEY IF THE DEAL GETS KILLED....I just checked out your website..another get rich scam...ho hum

I want to know that if I got sick, couldn't work, etc. that my investments could keep humming along and I wouldn't have to worry about putting cash into them.

Frankly, this asset is small enough that the benefit of not putting it at risk is fairly small.  60k isn't going to make much of a difference in the grand scheme of things.  

We invest in Grand Rapids area.

It's a grand vision.
