Look at the Tea Party -- whether you agree with their principles or not, you should be thrilled that a group of people had the ability (and the freedom) to come together to define a set of ideologies and promote those ideologies on a national platform.One day, the Tea Party, the Green Party, the Libertarians, the Constitutionalists or some other group of like-minded folks will grow enough of a following to rival and perhaps take control from the two major parties in this country.We should embrace and encourage that, not try to quash it by saying things like, "You're throwing your vote away."

Of course attention to detail is the key, so all electrical/plumbing/hvac/and etc penetrations will get spray foamed.The walls will get a flash coat of foam insulation, then R-13 bats to complete before the drywall.Your goals may not be the same as ours, EnergyStar rating, and HERS rating around 80-90, but that is the process we go through to achieve our ratings.PM if you have any more questions.

For me, (admittedly after reading philosophers like Marx... which I don't embrace all his ideas, but his ideas on labor are great) for a job to be satisfying:1.

My military carreer places me in a unique situation where I have no choice but to fully embrace virtual real estate investing!

You may clean mold off the surface but water may have penetrated behind the drywall or under carpet causing mold to grow in those areas.If only a part of the home has mold, you need to insure that when you remove the moldy material from the effected area that it is sealed so you don't contaminate the other areas with mold spores.

The best word I always think of when I think of fear, nervousness, etc... is "embrace".

@Donald Hendricks Don calling the collective wisdom here Ignorant as was stated in the original post was the height of Ignorance :)If we had a hot section Rick could have lit out on any number of posters and gotten into heated debate. but since there is no section on this site for this kind of katy bar the door discourse his posts were played out for all to see.At the end of the day my opinion and what I personally know of the back end of marquis is they will not miss a beat in sales because of this thread, BP is not their market they will continue on selling to the marketing channels that Rick was brought in and established. marquis would not be nearly as successful without Ricks expertise and connections in being able to bring investors that 99% of turn key operators could NEVER in a THOUSAND years find or penetrate what Rick has is a very very unique situation and Rick and his associates are extremely good at what they do!

The only party he was unable to penetrate was a trust.

You will also be embracing a lifestyle, with its own rewards.... not all of which are monetary.Happy and Safe Investing!

You are brave to embrace this type of property but I admire you for doing so.
