It was simply a discussion/roll play between Will and Bill and occasionally Marc would chime in, The 10 others in the chat probablly wernt willing to say a word after the 10 times I was scolded for asking logical questions.

I may be a bit late in posting an introduction - it has only taken me 2 years of occasional BP reading to realize that getting involved in this team sport is much better than hiding in a corner.I have a few out of state buy and hold deals under my belt, but I'd still consider myself new.

In a nut shell...I'm a Texan that went to HS in WI and college in IA and then spent that last 15 years in China (selling rubber, brass and the occasional gov procurement).

Sometimes they call and sometimes not and they occasionally make mistakes.

I manage them from afar and occasionally do site visits.On the other hand, there are many distressed properties that I have looked at where the PM hasn't seen the owner in years.Good PM is key to CRE success.

But again, around here, we have to have an approved site plan/permit and an approved building plan/permit before we can actually start construction (although occasionally we do get permission to start excavation ahead of the building permit).Good luck!

So I occasionally look for preforeclosed, foreclosed, and for sale properties down the (south) Jersey shores.What are the typical expenses when evaluating vacation properties?

Occasionally we will be awarded a paid contract to do engineering & design for the work to be done, but never have we been paid to provide an estimate.

We do not put ANY contingencies in our contracts, except the occasional well and septic inspection. 

i mean its one thing to occasionally steer folks from away from one demographic or another in choice of words verbally from time to time, as it would be hard to document in a violation claim.but how would one get out of a violation claim based on their principal 'document' itself?!
