Thanks a lot I've looked all across the Country and Nashville seems great on many levels!

My original plan was to flip houses but I do not trust the Illinois market right now with single family homes.

(I didn’t trust cc’s, so I avoided them) but my score is improving slowly.

Those are run by trusts and non profits.  

Done some personal real estate investments to move up in houses and looking to begin investing at the next level.  

(g) to return the premises, upon move-out to the same level of cleanliness it was in at the inception of the tenancy.

This has nothing to do with the seller......other than having a week listing agent who knows many agents won’t work at this level at 3%.This is the Buyer agent simply saying.....it’s not worth my time to do a deal for less than a $1500 gross commission....so if you want ME to represent you, then you have to make up the difference.

That should help insure some sense of priority and trust to find the right "investment." 

There are a TON of deals I've done where if I used the 70% rule I would have never considered the deal yet they made me 30k or more.One of the most trusted investors I know who is making 100k a month in passive income has a rule of $200 per door and 10% maintenance/management, insurance cost etc...Write out the numbers and see what it comes out to.

Thanks  Paula, it feels good to know that I'm not the only one who has put to much trust in a Contractor.
