(Although this is not necessarily always the case.)Jon has given you great advice, talk to a REALTOR to understand better where you stand with the numbers.

Which by the way is pretty much all of the time.The best part of the law . . . . any citizen has "standing".

I just had a situation earlier this year where a real stand-up guy owed me $12,500 and couldn't pay.

I'm going as a stand-in for my co-investor to look at some properties as he is out of town.

I'm willing to let this thread stand the test of time and see who was better prepared.

Now, if the typical house in my area were a brick ranch, then it would be much harder to sell a split-level, both because the comps are hard to come by and because most people don't like to live in houses that stand out.So, it's important to know your neighborhood and the types of houses in it before you pick your rehab project...

I have invested and they gave me a written guaranty for funding and yes no funds and won't stand by the guarantee.

If you're sticking them on telephone poles, get the horizontal flutes.I agree with the comment above as well. smaller and preferably lean them against something. if you're staking them in the ground, try to lean them against a stop sign, telephone pole or something else that will shelter them a little and keep them standing...or you could use wood and get a ladder and drill screws through your sign to a telephone pole.Not that I advise it but I've seen it done in San Antonio.

Dont count on the people standing up for their rights.

Maybe you should stand back and just let the guy finish......none of these types really like Harry Homeowner supervising and it works against that personal relationship.....just saying.....good luck.
