@Loren Bedward I apologize that you received negative comments about what you are trying to do.

Any and all comments would thus be welcome and appreciated.What I know:*There are two separate parcels of land, each with four units.

You comment often that wholesalers add no value - your opinion is probably shared by many, but being rude to those who are doing their best and trying to be part of this investment platform we have here is unnecessary.

Thank you for the info....Given the tornadoes that recently spun through the Nashville area and the ensuing damage as shown in all the media reports, can you offer any comments on how an investor should think about tornado risks in the Nashville/Tennessee area?

@Elizabeth Zielinski I have noticed that Paul comments often and puts people down.
