@Caroline Hedin@Cameron Skinner@Matthew Kreitzer@Dax Desai @Chris Allenundefined @Jim AdrianundefinedGreat news, I got my floor plans yesterday the architect I was talking about on my post came through on his word this time, he apologized but did not tell us why he kept pushing the date, he also gave us an invoice which says that if the city rejects the plans he the architect will fix what needs to be fixed with out extra charge. 

Not quite devastating to the area, but certainly not good news.

  A friend  was being foreclosed on, the bank was missing a document, they got to keep the house for free.  

I would be interested in learning how you went through with the deal (names on title, signed documents between you and your partner, tax plans). 

As long as you documented damages with pix/video/writing then give basic information for charges.

Hi, @Anna Smith.It's definitely "safer" to pay all cash for a property.However, the income returns on rental houses are usually pretty slim if you pay all cash (and there's no appreciation and eventual sale).A little leverage could get you more houses and a larger nest egg (either cash flow or paid off houses) in the future.Here's the good news.  

Also would like to use a system to get old documents into digital format and are view able by stakeholders and committee members.  

Took a few weeks to resolve, but the buyer had to invoke contingencies and back out of that particular purchase until we could gather documentation for each and every one of that zillion pings that each and every ping was incorrect and has been resolved (it wasn't literally a zillion. it was about 32...).- IRS transcripts come back, revealing that there was a shady family member CPA committing tax fraud for years and the IRS said they owed several hundred thousand dollars.

I know that it could take up to a year to get all the necessary documentation to start building, and I would definitely like to shorten that period up.
