Ok, now, conversely with real estate, that is simply not possible. '08' was the biggest hit to real estate in our life times, of EVERYONE alive at the time of it, right.

1) As an agent put 3 more under contract this month for going into 20252) Cut internet and car insurance bill down3) Start prepping for tax time, organize expenses yay lol

While Im not currently seeking distributions (we are in series B shares - those that participate in the upside and "may" accrue), they have made distributions and we are simply building another cash reserve.

Cut your teeth on something easy. 

A huge number of properties we have looked at would have issues on this front.It can lead to an opportunity to improve the value of a property if you can buy it with an illegal area, get that area legalised and then sell on with a higher value that the bank would lend against, but it's not clear cut and it seems though that there are almost two levels of 'legalisation' - we were able to register all of the annex on the plans and could fully incorporate a portion of it but there is another portion that is too close to the back boundary wall that should only be used for things like storage and not ever for habitation. 2) During the purchase process be careful, amongst other issues with this property we had the situation where the seller's lawyer was not actually a lawyer (having been struck off).

In other words, if you don't fill your unit in the slow season because you're afraid it will cut into your high season revenue, will the high season revenue more than cover the difference?

A neat feature with xfinity (no I don’t work there 😀) is the voice remote and once you have one box you can stream the service to the rest of your TVs cutting down the cost of extra cable drops. 

Depending on the market your looking to work in.one way I find is to simply call one of the major title companies and ask to talk to an escrow officer and then ask them what companies does he/she see closing private loans in their market..

You will thank yourself it cuts down the calls by 90% in my experience. 

That's where many cut their teeth in the business.
