And I know relatively little about the construction process (which is in and of itself a reason not to get involved with building), so I'd have to hire an outside GC or custom builder to do the job.

Assuming they pass my criteria/checks I would prefer that since my rental has been vacant for a month.

I read that 70% of DS contracts are signed by the customer and returned within 48 hours (no mention of the non DS avg).

I still always prefer to get credit/ criminal checks if possible, so if you cant get these without social, then you have justification for being uncomfortable renting to #1.

Their customer service has been atrocious lately, and I see little improvement each time I communicate with them.Second, I believe when the P&S is executed, it must be worded exactly correctly.

I'll ask around to see if anyone I know has any preferred contractors in the area.Kris-just saw Ann's post.

Especially since they included custom software and direct mail fullfillment.

I personally only hold rentals so I prefer to own those outside my ira for the tax benefits.

Cash Flow - "Do NOTHING & Money Comes In"Now... regardless which option you pick.If you look at "investing" as a business... you'll focus on "customer acquisition" aka the "sale".

It wasn't for a lack of students, it was because the students sucked so much time from the mentors without actually following through on deals, that the mentors preferred executing their own deals.
