Great point @Russell Brazil . 

If you don't, you end up asking them to break laws or deal unethically, that's when they look at you like you're nuts and walk off.

If you can't float the nut on your own, maybe it is worth reconsidering being your first investment.

This market drives me nuts, but I do feel we are close to the bottom..

start with something that can give you a chance to see how the numbers work. you have to have nuts in this game or you'll be kicking yourself in the *** a lot!!!!

In a nut shell she PAID last months rent so no refund.Am I correct?

@Tyler Nord  I just did a presentation at Rarebird on out of state investing and I have written an e book on the do's and don'ts and real life expiernieces of someone who has owned hundreds of these assets ( me )  you may want to read this prior to starting any search for Turnkey out of state... there is no recommendations on companys or selling.. just the nuts and bolts of what us west coast Investors need to know prior to investing out of state.. there are many nuance's that you would want to be aware of prior to making an investment or talking or dealing with any company.just PM me and I will send it over..

@Russell Brazil: I am as used to closings moving as the next guy, just never this late.

I concur with @Russell Brazil

I've only got 5 months left before we head off to D.C. but I'd go nuts not doing something while I'm still here.
