People remember being treated kindly)

exactly, this is the same as any other property, treat it that way.You HAVE to give the address.

Unless you view RE as charity, don't treat it as such.Secondly, I view money as freedom and achievement.

The broker/agent will want every time to try to get the juicy steak first.The point is that the brokers/agents return and give constant deals to the clients that treat them right and not the ones trying to feed them crumbs while they eat the steak.

@Jolene Perry I'd treat it like any other investment.

Hope they treat you good.

The property has the following points in the public records:- Mold - no report- foundation issue - no report- cut out and treated wet sheet rock - no report- basement was cleaned anti microbial - no report- City assessment : 498kwhen I saw the property with my realtor we noticed that in the 1st unit which is a finished basement - I was able to see that they cut the wall and it smells pretty bad (like mold).

Treat everyone you come across well and respectfully.

I've bought supplies/materials.Or could I draw up some agreement to continue on and treat the property as my own instead of stopping to get this all worked out?

. - How has the TN market been treating you in your REI experiences?
