And likely much harder in the current environment.

The more resources I have the more time I have to go fishing, or kayaking with a cooler down a lazy river.

I also mention to tenants (in passing conversation) how much it hurts them to use certain firms that are known for setting up somewhat frivolous lawsuits for CRLTO stuff - when I see those firms names as representing an applicant in a previous suit, no way am I renting to them.Unfortunately, with the legal atmosphere here in Chicago, these shady firms/attorneys regularly mail out and advertise to tenants just fishing for someone who might be swayed by their offer of a $5k payday due to their landlord's failure to abide 100% by the CRLTO or in the hopes that they can milk a settlement because the landlord cannot afford to defend themselves.Good news for you is that this attorney has no reputation, so if you pair up with a solid and well know landlord's attorney, they'll likely be clobbered in court, assuming they've actually filed suit.

Create a second lien note and exchange (trade) it for the equity in an "exchange" propertyAll you under 45 year old investors have been spoiled by investing in a 3% interest rate environment.  

The existing finish has an overall look like fish scales.

And this is for sure not the market environment to be doing that.

@John @John Weidner you are correct -- hardwood flooring needs a conditioned environment (as does trim material).

Fishing for ideas here, while getting the info for title and the numbers together- I have not even seen the inside of the home yet. 

@Jon Burns i have bought 5 hoarder houses this year.. all of them Extreme a normal human could not walk in the home they stunk so bad .. you have to wonder how the people live in that environment without coming down with any myriad of diseases .. for those reasons I think mold is totally over hyped these folks live in petry dish's surrounded by black mold and seem to keep on ticking.sure sign is when the living room furniture is on the front porch even they can't handle the stench.One I am working on in Lake Oswego right now.. ( and I wish i new how to post pictures on a website) we are 8 40 yard dumpsters and we can now just see the house... all of these the houses are beyond salvage.. all of them took a decade or longer to become this way.the folks living in them just ruin their asset.. we buy these at HUGE discounts to market.. as they are lot value MINUS demo cost then some. 

Imagine being in an environment where motivated and focused individuals are growing their businesses together through the process of referring work to others?
