I get that those of you in California cannot buy a parking spot for those numbers

Thanks, I didn't see a spot where I could actually search the forums - I'm sure it's been discussed hundreds of times - thanks so much for the feedback....I do agree that you can spend all the time in the world on the courses but useless if you don't actually do anything.

His advice for them is spot on.

If I know what I'm looking for, it's a breeze spotting a phony.  

Not sure how to spot the difference on the wall types- I'm gonna rely heavily on my contractors for sure.

Btw, the Real Dealz episode with Tucker M. sounded good and congrats on your new spot in Vegas. 

What I find is that I'm more focused and willing to call things as I see them without feeling like I might offend someone.I'm also better at spotting deals and have more confidence in knowing what I want out of them.None of this means that I don't make mistakes, but I am better at recognizing them and solving the issues. 

I invest in off market properties and have always been a little worried about going into properties with hidden big ticket problems as the wholesalers dont give enough time - plumbing and mold are big on that hidden list, in my opinion.I can kind of approximate plumbing repairs but wanted to know if there are any easy ways to spot any hidden mold.

Eventually you will tire of swinging hammers and toiling under the sun/rain all while enjoying that sweet smell of lumber.
