. :)I've never seen anybody go all the way and win one of these reimbursements of DD money in small claims.  

If the messed up part turns out to be why you become an investor then you'll win in the end. 

Alas, you may have a great point there as I have decided to cut into my "profits" if it meant a "win-win" situation for all.

But I understand the reality of the game and know I'm not going to win hand after hand.

This can lead to additional corrosion w/in the pipes, possibly leading to premature failure of the heat exchanger, which is not inexpensive to fix as I just fixed one on one of my properties.Assuming you're on gas, you could (imo: should) install a condensing gas boiler.

I'd much rather create a win-win for all at a lower but still reasonable price.Also, not sure what you mean by "or even see if he will give you a bird dog fee and let him bid to find it."

It should be a win win.

Like the three card molly guys in the ghetto they always have their stooges win a few bucks to get the crowd going.I'm a Capitalist but what you have in America is a con game.

Persist and you will WIN!!!!

This opportunity can lead to winning big prize money in addition to the salary for the six month season.
