You're a sharp guy, you can do it!!

They are easy to identify as ceramic tile and not wood, but they look sharp.

Pain in the freaking butt, especially when you had to run a VPN over it.

An example, some small c-stores need 250K to acquire another store, it's rural, a small deal, past the lending area for many, a real pain to make and not worth the brain damage for a bank....now steps in the HML, get's the place under the corporate system, up and running, then refi it conventionally in 3 years.Capital requirements may not meet the banks idea of cash reserves, but if I can see from inventory turn over, file a UCC lien on inventory purchased, have access to the books and deposits, I can be assured the deal is solid enough.

Its hard to sell and its a pain in the rear end to operate.Ask the seller about doing a master lease option.

I agree that galvanized pipes are nothing but a pain in the butt.

This is a pain in the butt when the property value is under that number but not much you can do but send it with the crazy number and wait for it to come back.

When you get around lake properties I have had many concessions concerning boats and docks being included with the home.....it can be a pain for the lender.What ever is common in your area, what the lender would like to see is what you should go with, imo.

Install times are very fast, just need a sharp utility knife and a straight edge, score and snap.

If I had very little to save after making monthly payments to debt obligations, I would pay the easiest debts off first and then tackle the ones most painful to my budget.Personally, if he is making at least 40K per year, I don't think Ken Barrett's debt situation is that bad and I would not hesitate to invest in an investment property in his current situation so long as it either a) put more money in his pocket, or b) did not cost him more than the rent he is already paying anyways.
