In North Carolina there has to be a hearing prior to proceeding with invoking the Power of Sale clause.

I also have a drill I go thru for each post that gives it a bit of "power".

Make sure any AC's refrigerators and other equipment that YOU are paying for operation of is newer, more energy efficient types where possible.Also, make sure the tenants do not have access to house power either with hallway plugs or by easy access to panels.

I believe you are on the right track choosing RE as the income producing and retirement plan vehicle, however, you are missing out on the power of leverage to start.

So, I recruited you by "power of suggestion" or "creation manifestation" or something??

The most powerful part of this is that we are both much more in-line with the vision of our future.

That way no need to worry about money for re-election, kissing any a$$, or power plays thru seniority.

I would suggest joining a social network with a business angle, like Linkedin.These networks can be powerful for finding people for such situations.

Just goes to show how desperate some people are to get a home loan these days...seems to me we should be putting the initial blame (for lack of a better word) on the "powers that be".

(Knowledge is power, and they don't want mt to know what I'm paying for, I guess) What do you do--or not--that sets you apart and makes you more valuable to me as both a seller and a buyer?
