You have to be on the City Council, part of the school board, on the chamber of commerce, a supporter of the fire department, etc., etc. 

If not, and the neighborhood supports it, I'd fix that and then do a complete refresh and see if you can rent it at a higher amount.

Getting crystal clear on the “WHAT” that you consume your time with will help you know the kinds of activities you should be doing and the kind of activities you shouldn’t be doing.

Hey everyone, what a great community of supporters.

I paid the $2000 for the course and now here I am just trying to build a network of support and to learn all that I can.  

This brought us to one of the seminars that cost of $2000 to attend and then they talked us into $20K program that sounded like we would be getting a good amount of support.

The downside is that it is also the most time consuming of the options. 

@Mark HoffmanWelcome to the BP family, you will find loads of support here for your real estate endeavors.

Don't ask me how this person was still in there house cause i have no clue, but anyway the bank filed a lis/pendens vs the homeowner back in 08' long story short i found out that property had (a high) child support lien on it so i decided to bail on the sheriff sale and sit back and figured the back would take it at auction.

Finding purpose and support for those involved that have "been there, done that" is the most challenging aspect.
