We found a chain-saw, a shovel, paint cans, broken shutters, pieces of a treadmill, a bicycle, landscaping debris, etc.  

It's hard to find a fund that isn't a REIT to get involved on a larger scale unless you are able to put the downpayment on a piece of property there, Traditionally only the large hedge funds and pensions that have been involved in this extremely unsexy (yet, cash flow liquid!)

He also said he’d bring a couple pieces of mail with his name and address on it as proof of his residence.

Scott:If you are simply looking to analyse a property, create a budget or model cash-flow, then there are lots of spreadsheet templates available ... or, at least enough bits and pieces to get you started on building your own.If you want to keep the books of your business, then you will be best served to get a basic accounting package (QuickBooks, MoneyWorks, etc) even if you have only one property (at the moment).Ask your accountant if they have a preference as they will be more accustomed to importing data from certain packages into their system.

It looks like a motor and tank with a piece in the middle missing.  

The thing to keep in mind is they are incredibly W-2 intensives and have tens and tens of moving pieces.

I don't suppose it counts but I once gave a tenant a piece of my mind.......

Blah, blah, blah...From an actual investor standpoint, the intrinsic value of a piece of property is going to be it's current value based on future discounted cash flows at its "highest and best use."

We will sell this house and look for another to flip.If I create a C-Corp, or other entity, how does the financial piece work?

I was so caught up with my coworkers hype that I wanted in on a piece of that.
