I have personally replaced the pilot assembly in a gas-fired water heater.

Originally I wanted to operate a personal care home, however would much rather rent the home to an operator with hopes to negotiate higher rent.

Of course the adage is "if the numbers work" but what areas inside 1604 do you think with will grow the fastest or be the best to consider for flipping for homes under 400k ARV Hey Nathan, I personally like the top half of the map. north 281 will grow faster than the other sides imo as well.   

And you don't need to disclose it to the bank as you are living there as required for the the lower down payment.

Personally I am open to what people may consider more "fringe" or bad areas.

I'm not afraid to buy, in fact I hate money sitting in the bank doing nothing for me.

I also needed to set up some bank accounts for our LLCs so in the process of doing that I ran across Baselane, which is a banking and bookkeeping platform.

without getting into the question of any particular real estate 'personality's" success, or lack thereof, I can unequivocally state that the "rules" change in each differing economy.
