I have some cash saved up, and want to put it to work and buy up a portfolio of properties.

I can go to my county's property assessment website and go from property to property to check to see if the taxes are current, but obviously this is painstaking work and probably not the highest and best use of my time.

But there will probably be more instances of people going postal at work, and more draconian measures by employers.What I really want to know: when China's economy overheats and burns out, who finances our debt???

I'm thinking of just keeping it as a free internship for now considering his lack of experience, he doesn't have his own reliable transportation to and from work and he has a bedtime curfew enforced by his beautiful mother so overtime is out of the questionthoughts?

I bought them for nothing for the purpose of using them to create a "salary" to get me off full time work and freeing up my time.

(I've watched many of you do it and make it seem so easy, I know it's not) I have a contractor/partner who's very good at what he does who is willing to do the work and manage the projects.

Get the owners accounts to them every month in a timely manner.Have a very secure system for holding the deposits (I know 2 management companies where a clerk stole the deposit money).And here is the important one: once your business prospers don't get lazy and start taking shortcuts to reduce your work load.

Short Sale or Short Pay Offs, as referred to by lenders, are a lot of work and you may want to do a few yourself but as soon as you really pick it up it is time for you to get a processor on your side.

She does not seek this work and is comfortable just working for me, as being a Realtor is not her full time job.Again, I hope I did not offend anyone as it was not my intention to do so.

There aren't many short cuts in this game.
