Clean title no ejido. 

Quote from @Stephen Smith: @Jonathan Greene Thank you for your insight! 

I just recently took one apart trying to get into every possible nook and cranny to clean it and it was GROSS.

Makes an amazing shot of espresso, and pretty much idiot proof so long as you have your cleaner stay on top of the cleaning and maintenance.

It’s quick, clean, and you can reinvest that cash into another deal.

Was able to purchase and clean up, but probably would have avoided the property entirely to avoid the headache and extra expenses.

The GFC unfortunately hit all of us lenders pretty hard and I had a concentration in Jackson and ATL and Memphis so I had to move to Jackson for a year to clean up my portfolio I thought I was going to be there for maybe a few weeks but that turned out to be a year and I got very fortunate I was able to rent the developers house at Reunion .

Quote from @Jonathan Greene: Most people who go to as many meetups as you have developed the confidence to move forward because they see everyone else doing it?
