This is all speaking blindly as it never hurts to call in an expert.

Think of vertical blinds, but with the edges of the blinds connected with hinges.Both of the in-laws died after using this shower for years, but I can't pin that on the shower. :)

Unless Chris is offering to pay any fines you getby doing it his way, then just go in blind!

Another piece of advice I would throw out there if you are looking to get into foreclosure auctions, learn to look at county records for liens, and other encumbrances that can affect a title.Even if you have the cash, which would be quite an accomplishment itself for someone of your age, if you go into these somewhat blind you'll get burned.

I went into my current duplex(first property ever) completely blind.

Most tenants do a good job with obvious areas, but did they take the blinds down and clean the top and each slat? 

They say the best way to learn about RE is through experience but I don't want to dive into blindly so that is what brings me to BP.

I am going to work for a property manager in a few weeks to learn more about it but I wanted to see what the BP community was thinking on a more macro level.I see a lot of opinions that these investments are at the top of the market and some people are predicting a bubble in the market because people have been blindly buying up these properties.

It would be better if you can partner with someone with experience to the blind won't be leading the blind.As far as spreading your fund over several deals that is a good hedge for your funds.Make sure everyone is on the same page. 

Maybe I am just blind, but I am in the "manage keyword alerts" page, and I cannot figure out how to delete a keyword.
