You flippers with trucks better add another grand for gas. 3 months of running to Lowes will add up!

They're a good alternative for anyone looking for SDIRA professionals.  

Usually, P/U truck.

While that is an option, and if you are married you do have a partner to talk things over with, so it's not an outright lie, there is another alternative.

Looking for distressed SFR in the sub-200k ARV range for now (don't want to bite off more than I can chew out of the gate.)Alternately, if you are a seasoned investor looking to eschew the lower-end flips you come across so you can move up into higher priced projects, or if you want to semi-retire and would like to help mentor someone new, I'd love to work as an apprentice or mentee if you're willing to let me do some hands-on training.

While walking back to my truck I looked in the contractors truck-bed and saw a bunch of bracket-like things all piled up.

They are usually available in big box plumbing departments or certainly online.When a spill of water reaches a floor, it (the water) completes the connection for the switch (which is connected to a valve) thereby shutting off a home's water supply.In that case you have an inconvenienced tenant calling because they don't have water versus the alternative that you've experienced.I don't think that they are too expensive but may need to be installed by a plumber.Just my 2-cents worth.Travis

Go pick up a crappy car or truck that runs , cut off the muffler , fill the tank 1/2 way with gasoline , a, park it near the building , let it run 1/2 throttle , the noise will get him out after a while .

I watched a guy pull into a vacant lot down the street from my house, back in and unload a whole truck full of trash into the corner of the lot.

But the alternative is to use cash and get lower returns.
