Make sure you take care of yourself, RE business tends to get you to burn the candle at both ends (its so much fun), but can take its toll!

Insure it to the hilt and hope someone promptly burns it down!

You have to be an engineer Victor!

Addition: I'd read about the suction cup ones, but read mixed results (people either worshipped them or burned them in effigy) -- has anyone first hand experience with them?

If you ended up getting burned by the risk overall your time in that trade has negative value....so not adjustment necessary.Paul's post is fantastic!

We had $99 first month rent and were burned more often than not, yes screening etc. was still done, but those specials led to more problems.Know your market and cater a special to that.

Yes I will profit from it, and I will use those profits to fight the very people who's failed social engineering is making me money.

Gee, what a surprise...Within the next 3 weeks, most of 'em will get MORE cash to burn, that'll be gone by Q3 at the latest.Somebody'd better stock up on morphine for the sheep, it's gonna be a rough summer/fall for the masses.

If that didn't pan out, check with local engineering firms {not the {inter}national giants} ... often there are drafting technicians at these companies who freelance.

I have been software engineer working for global software company in Redmond, but few years ago, I have started business in auto industry and was able to quit my day job.
