Mike: I'm currently getting things organized here where I'm at in hopes of being able to get a property under contract via an option, and then sell the option to either another investor or an actual end buyer and then take the profits from that and move to Vegas, so I can have a few months of living expenses covered until I get going over in Vegas.I've got a few questions that I'm going to need to ask, but I'll save that for another post!
