I'd bet any local University has classes applicable to commercial RE investing and management, audit the course instead of attending for a grade, much cheaper

I'd say that's your best bet to make anything cashflow in Port St.Lucie.

I would bet dollars to donuts he's still doing drugs.

That’s the best bet.

The presence of the dehumidiers is something, but -- and I'm no lawyer here -- I'd bet that's not enough to hang your hat on in a lawsuit.

Central OH is really your best bet for long term appreciation.
