No, we don't want to live in California forever, but we're not ready to move either.We were actually considering your town once, because my husband's employer was expanding there, but the community manager position was snatched up quickly.

If the agent is diligent about your having all the proper paper work in place is most likely someone who is on top of things and will be very informed when it comes to details.

-Make welfare workfare-Reform our prison system so going to prison is actually a deterrent to criminals instead of a joke-I would expand the role of the Army Corps of Engineers to start rebuilding America's infrastructure.

proper prep and you will be fine with painting over aluminum siding.

This cause water to leak out of the connections and causes water damage to the ceiling.The washer/dryer is in the hall upstairs on our units.We have also found tenants will use the cheap rubber hoses instead of the steel braided ones or not have a washer fitting inside the connection which causes a leak.Also if it is an older washer or connections at the wall the threading is older and even if you tighten it will leak.This is why we use Teflon tape when putting the steel lines on.It fills the imperfections of the threading and stops any leaks at the connection.Another area of leakage is at the discharge hose.If it is not properly clamped at the washer,has an old hose,or where the discharge hose goes into the drain line could cause a leak.

I guess I should expand...I usually do not take checks.

I have spent considerable time looking at property (on vacation) but never have enough time to do the proper research to get an operation set up.

Buying off the MLS at a discount and selling to a cash buyer for a higher amount via a double closing is certainly possible if you know what a good deal is, have a large buyers list (not just one or two who are agents), how to properly and effectively negotiate, and where and how to find that good deal before someone else does.

I am a landlord and flipper just looking to expand my knowledge and learn from others.

I wouldn't think you could get a short sale done in a couple of weeks....If you can get an offer prepared and into the bank with the proper paperwork to get the short sale process started, the bank is likely to put off the foreclosure for some period of time (60-120 days) while the offer is considered by the asset manager.
