@Greg Fries thanks Greg!

Plastic is barely covering ground level open basement window areas. 

My wife and I currently hold w-2 JOBS, I only work 36 hrs/wk Fri-Sun which provides me four days during the week to watch my daughter and learn about REI (bonus!).   

The thing I would recommend is inspect and replace all plastic/rubber plumbing parts.  

I'm going fri  in NYC will report fri night

Maybe if you chase off some zippy plastic 49cc 2 wheeler he'll just park it in the living room.

And stay right on top of them or in other words are members of the community were they invest and therefor has command and control .And those of you who happen to live in parts of the country were these low hanging fruit can partake successfully in this business should count themselves fortunate that these assets are so readily available to you within a 30 minute drive..I did not read anything that changed my mind that the 2% rule keeps prices from rising in any appreciable manner as value only rise's with rent increase's and rents are fairly stable in all these markets.Lastly as to class of asset being it A B C or D that is in the eye of the beholder, my C could be your D or visa versa .....Off to Milwaukee today then Chicago  Beer and Brats  Friday fish Fry, Deep dish pizza Miracle mile... should be a fun week on the road.Best to all

33K in student loans, about 11k on plastic (wedding/honeymoon/school), plus houseMy experience in real estate is limited to spending time with my grandfather growing up.He had several rental houses and would always be working on them.As I grew up and paid more attention to the business side of his work I realized that he was working just to stay busy and not working to create more income.His end goal was always to create more income but he was always distracted by the job of remodeling and updating.He has been my mentor and main father figure for years but now it is time I “upgrade” to someone capable of guiding me in the direction I want to go.I will always love my grandfather but his business sense is not one I need to follow.My goals in real estate are to create a “four hour work week” (gotta love the Tim Ferriss way of life) by a combination of buy and hold and flips.I hope to use this method to create a stable business and then move into apartment complexes.After lurking on this site I have learned about the different rules needed to ensure profit out of each.In my farm area there are many MLS deals that fall into these numbers.Now it is just about raising funds.I would love to find some Sub2 deals.Famous FourFavorite real estate book Never read one.Bigger Pockets Favorite business book Poke the Box by Seth Godin, 4 Hour Work Week by Tim Ferriss, and No More Mondays by Dan Miller Hobbies include working on cars and spending time with friends and family.These are very important to me and I do not get enough time with my desk job with either.What is thing that sets apart successful investors from those that fail Getting back up on the horse after failing and not letting friends and family tell you that being an investor is a stupid idea.

The 2nd one bit a kid in the face which needed extensive plastic surgery.

I explained a couple options; she could do rugs on the hardwood floors, plastic on the windows, etc.I must have caught her on a really bad day.Her response was less than favorable.
