Just please don't feel like you have to spend thousands of dollars on some guru course to begin.haha yeah that what i was thinking of buying a "course" online that comes with like 12 audio cd for like 40 bucks i doubt i would ever pay anything over 1k on a RE course i rather read books , listen to tapes, and go on bigger pockets.

Is there any program online you would recommend for this?

Thanks.Benjamin SubercaseauxNeighbor Online

This is amazing that it has been 3 years going from elementary school teacher to REI and I haven't joined an online community!

Before that, it was rented for twelve months straight.I don't believe legal fees and evictions will cost much, if anything - there isn't a lot of red tape in South Dakota about evicting nonpaying tenants.During the summer I am a painting contractor and have my own scaffolding, ladders, work truck, tools, etc.

I have been in the corporate world now as a software tools expert and computer programmer for several years without a degree and I can tell you now that I have a degree, that my BSB/M means nothing .

If you choose to create a web site of your own for use as a free and open communication tool amongst your neighbors, the board cannot prevent that.

Some counties have tax records online so you can see what their true address is if they are not living in the house or if they have moved.
