You could walk across from City Park to the dry-stack marina across the lake! 

Maybe 8 years ago on my first eviction I visited a gray haired attorney regarding collection of back rent and damages. 

When we get to $50K the well of good lenders starts to dry up.  

On a side note a cheap southside house that I had bid on during that month came on MLS a couple month later......3 months later I now own it for for $3k less than my bid and $5.5k less than what the highest 3rd party bidder was at (but now with the property taxes paid and prorated, title insurance, utility liens paid, and the bank was kind enough to treat for both subterranean and dry wood termites).

Cut out eating out (or decrease it), shop at a lower end grocery store, meal plan, get your hair cut less frequently, don't get coffee at Starbucks, etc.

I would dry underwrite some deals and go through the motions of the process that way when you have some more capital you are ready to commit without hesitation.

Should be $10 for mold resistant good stuff caulking and an hour at least to actually remove ALL the old caulking, letting it dry completely before applying new caulking. 

Keeping with the dating example, what if instead I took that list of 10000 and pulled out what I am looking for, let's say brown hair, blue eyes, single, makes 45k a year or more, etc etc.

We like things to be black and white, cut and dry, but usually they aren’t.

do you have a buy sell agreement in your operating agreement.. if so follow that formula.if not then you are stuck if you wont accept his offer.its very common for the exiting partner to take a hair cut.
