I would estimate we cleared over $100,000 in profits on those later deals.I've had investors screw me over for $1,000 before, and what it does is destroy any future potential of business.

How much you make or where the deal came from wont make a difference to a serious investor.

I'm going to be in Denver myself in about 2 weeks and it would be great if all the Denver newbies meet on the 25th so i wont be the only one.Sebastian

I wont tell you that investing long distance is for everyone.

-fixing up the property little by little to build up "pride of tenant ownership": if the property is updated and taken care of, tenants will be more reluctant to destroy/harm it.I was also thinking of installing a ANIMAL WASTE STATION with a sign, trash basket and plastic bags, however it's 300$, and we will not need it within a year.

I just wont ever be hand on as far as rehab work goes.

That one family wont have 13 cars outside, that is much of the issue.Dave, I have never heard of the D/As being a protected class under the ADA, but since they are usually court ordered the occupancy is taken care of through a zoning exception, that wouldn't fly here

They are tearing off siding, destroyed the brand new carpet, disturbing all the neighbors, and in pretty much every other way - destroying my house.

She is also recently divorced, she earned a million dollars a year Realtor before the crash in Nevada, her divorce, ex... and the Real Estate bust left her with IRS debt and destroyed credit and she has financial obligations to college kids in the short term (PS - we met and moved in together before I inherited the money and while she was not working dealing with a medical scare- so no gold digging here.)However- we are sensitive to appearances and she insists anything I buy be in my own name and that if anything happened to her I could afford it on my own.

Another bonus is that you wont have to adjust doors and/or drawer guides as you would with plywood.
