Life changes, people get married, have kids, job relocation, lenders understand.

Thanks for the tip about kilz.

Hate carpets, they are nasty enough themselves, and with pets and kids around they turn in to disaster!

It was a lot of money for a kid but I wanted to learn.

Mike, can you give us some tips how one would finance these properties if one does not have much in capital?

At least you can estimatete life and save up for them------ although I did have a tenant's kids get up on a roof and pull off the shingles, chop holes in the roof deck, and spray paint grafitti.

cornell~thank you so much. one more question, since you are an investor any tips on the best approach , when trying to get business. and do you think from your point of view a service like this could be helpful?

Kind of reminds me of the kid with an awesome stereo system in his old Ford Pinto.

For me though, I like my toys, and I would rather just figure out how to make more money to afford the things I want.

Mike.....I think he was just kidding around with the "its kind of lonely counting the money all by myself" comment.Hence the little ;) at the end.All in good fun!
