@John UnderwoodI differ with your above comment from the anonymous "pro".The best book that I have read on the subject is "The Self Directed IRA Handbook" by Mat Sorensen. 

Strap your bags on, call everyone, yell loud, do not take no for an answer , fix the problems (they will always show at the worst time, take advantage of the 24hrs in a day, work everyday, pay the guys extra to stay late WITH you and by all means necessary, hit your date and move on!!

Most of the coastal areas of California are economically strong, but the inland areas and valleys are economically strapped, and have very high unemployment.

I am starting to build a team, but I am really strapped for money.

Are you strapped for cash and want to get out of your 9 to 5?

We put down foam bath mats.

The result was one of the sinks was leaking and sewer gas was getting past the S trap.

Earthquakes are relatively rare in Indiana, with just 44 quakes above a magnitude 3 reported in the last 200 years, according to Indiana Geological & Water Survey Outreach Coordinator Polly Sturgeon. thats wild the big SF quake was 1908  .. having lived right on the loma preita fault ( big fault that runs up the SF penninsula i never bought it.. although if the property is not strapped down to the foundation i would go ahead and do that.. then really the only thing that will break will be contents..

I usually do all those things but was strapped for cash at the time of purchase.

@Mindy Jensen if you get the straps where two people can lift it together, it really isn't that heavy or tough, check out forearm forklift moving straps at Home Depot and find a friend.
