I searched the board, this question have been asked numerous times but never really answered.

The broker for the property, Brian Harp, BLH Property Management, has repeated ignored requests to return our $500 deposit and made numerous excuses for not sending it (been travelling, can't find papers, .....).

I consider investing to be activities where income is generated primarily by the input of capital and ownership of an asset, rather than via your efforts, ie from rental income and capital growth.

Numerous foreign companies and individuals own property and companies in the US.

Over the past weekend something woke me out of my 'paralysis of analysis' (as I've heard someone put it) and I'm now actively going to start my investing career.

The ONLY activity we discuss here I would really consider investing is owning property.

I was going to recommend getting a product called "Scarecrow Motion-Activated Sprinkler," you can find it on Amazon.

You can profit from "secret activities" too if you just don't act like 90% of the sheeple out there.

If you have a buyer list with serious investors that are actively looking for deas and know they have the financial firepower to pull the trigger and you show them a great deal that exactly meets their criteria you should be able to do the deal fast.Some extra advice, once you have serious buyers, speed the process up by helping them do the due dilligence.

Glad to see you jumping in and getting active!
