Let me just start out by saying the inventory for foreclosures and short sales dwindled really fast and got eaten alive by shark investors. 

The job is somewhat small but does require replacing a water tank.

He said "There are a lot of sharks in that business, you won't be able to complete."

(REIA's are entertaining and a fun way to spend an evening, unfortunately most of the members are trying to find that magic way to get rich, at REIA you will find that many of the speakers and some of the sharks see you as a source of income and will up-sell you more seminars and courses, or motivate you to buy their properties at a great profit for themselves)Thanks One more question what do people think about mentor programs that you pay for how have they helped you or how have they not ?

There are underground gasoline tanks  :X  !!

Small amount of asbestos needs to be removed from basement, hot water tanks needs to be exhausted properly.  

Sort of like starting a trip with a full tank of gas...it gives you a better idea of how far you can go before you even start!  

Market started tanking pushing interest rates up causing the consumer to not be able to afford the new nice house so they foreclosed or they lost their job causing them to foreclose.Investors bought on speculation that the market will continue to rise and they could make cash quick in a couple of years after their appraisal jumps some.

I have a big 5 bedroom 1.5 bath for sale, rents projected for 1150 a month , new roof, electrical completely rewired, complete new plumbing (both water and drain) new Windows, new 90+ furnace, new hot water tank, new flooring including tiled floors in kitchen foyer and both bathrooms.

I would had rip and taken that oil tank out and install separate gas meters so each tenant would pay there own gas.
