If there are pipes that go through the floor, you'll have to cut slots to allow you to slide in the board around them.

I now schedule 2 or 3 people for the same time slot and ask them to wait if multiples actually show up.

Yeah add me to the old format lover group :mrgreen:

As someone noted, they are shallow rooted, and, being of the poplar family, water lovers. 

I love real estate.

Coming from a very responsible and huge animal lover, I would pass on this person.  

It has s lot of equity in it and a little research has found the owner is deceased. 

I don't want to have the properties connected and should I decide that one would be better becoming a buy and hold, I would like to put it in the next slot of the series LLC.

You are regrettably doing way so many starry eyed lovers do in mixing emotions with money.

Most people want to learn and love real estate and to do that they have to know and see their own market or travel and get to know an oos market to become a real investor who has a stake in the outcome of every deal they do.No one who wants to park their money somewhere is trolling these forums, it's new investors who want to learn, but get capsized by bad advice meant for seasoned investors who have way more money.
