It's since been a week and no word and the guy won't answer a text or call to save my life and that stuff drives me nuts.

Thats why I’m fishing for ideas here… ideally to leverage into an $800k property. 

While I was trying to remove the tank, I found that one of the nuts was completely rusted onto the bolt and couldn't be loosened.

Take a listen to episode #27 of REI Mastery with Joe Mccall if you have a few minutes.Just got done listening to that episode, and I have to say, it drove me NUTS!

Someone - presumably him - broke into my room while nobody was home (Tom had a medical appt or something) and stole $1,000+ of stuff I had bought and was planning to resell.Joe is gone and I'm never gonna see my stuff - some of which is rare and irreplaceable - again but I'm sore about the whole thing and I think Tom has some responsibility.Tom just shrugs and continues to live for free and drink like a fish on my rent money.What do you think?

However, 3bed/2baths sell for 30% more than 1 bath units and I would like to start small for my first investment before going after the bigger fish.

While there extreme left is still pretty nwell where they have been (they never have made headway really, some real nuts) the mean left has moved right.

I was driving me nuts!

Your numbers look like solid positive cash flow to me.I invest out of state, friends and family think I'm nuts but I'm confident in what I am doing.

Thanks for the warm welcomes everyone,Jerry W, I've only gone all in on the first hand once, but I did have the nut flush and there were no pairs on the board so...Jeff S, Eventually I would like to buy and hold, but I see myself rehabbing 10 or 20 properties between buy and holds so that I can buy them cash.I just started working with my first RE agent last week, and I plan on meeting at least 2 more very soon.
