I'm leaving this weekend for a work trip and will be giving some training classes and presentations next week, so I will take all these suggestions and try them out next week!

On items like probate and divorce it will take a trip to the courthouse. 

Take that trip.

Once I decided on a location, I planned a trip and made sure it lined up with an established RE meet up group. 

I'm planning on making a trip in the next few weeks, but would love to lay some groundwork before I go if I can. 

Then they send to underwriting who kicks it back again for something they should have seen in the first trip to underwriting.  

We have been helping him to refurbish it [ thank God for youtube tutorials]  and having an incredibly fun time doing so.The problem is the one third acre backyard [front yard is xeriscaped] The property was originally 4 lots, and though I have no idea whether there were other primary homes on the land, there have obviously been many outbuildings with concrete foundations over the years. concrete is still protruding from the ground.I think that children running in the backyard could potentially trip while running in the yard.

The best advice would be to take a trip down here and drive to your most favorable neighborhoods! 

I would like to have a house in the beautiful rain forests of Costa Rica that has a main house with 3-4 smaller houses around it where my friends and I could stay and explore that beautiful country (by the way, the food alone is worth the trip). 

So let’s say Faucet $99, an hour at $50/hr (my PM’s labor charge) plus a trip charge, often not applicable I’d say $20 should be $169 but for sure under $200, you got screwed.
