@Adam AdamsWhile what constitutes "C+" versus "B-" has some subjective elements to it, I would say that you can find 11 cap deals.

Contractors work year round and they are used to dealing with the elements.... they need to put food on the table during the winter months too :lol: .

After being convinced the real estate business is for you, it is essential to gain as much knowledge as possible from different resources, those that are affordable and provide comprehensive information and leadership.

With the water coming out of the element/thermostat cover near the top of the outer shell that still does not tell you where the tank is leaking.

I think at the moment, you're able to hide off-topic and political through your dashboard but if I was able to essentially 'block' individuals or even complete topics, that would be really cool.

I think we all have a tendency to forget the human element when looking at deals.

I'm not one to work on vacation.......but some of my best thoughts come to me when I'm out of my element...such as on vacation, etc.

If you look at all the specialized products, they all contain a halogen derivative to kill mold - look at a periodice table of the elements and the second column from the right contains all the "-ine" compounds, chlorine, fluorine, astatine, etc.

I might be wrong here (I'm also a Realtor so I get the exception already) but if you are actively involved in the management of your properties, defined by some level of effort maybe 500 hours a year, then you too are exempt from the passive losses limit--essentially because they are not passive, they are from something in which you are actively engaged.

Since the auction is July 15, you have essentially no time to do the short sale and the property will go to auction.BUT, if the house is really worth $420K, and the mortgage balance is only $200K, then you can go to the homeowner offer them a cash deal and buy the house before auction.
