I'm trying to get to the bottom of this.

I was just trying to get to the bottom of why there is so much confusion.

The bottom line is that if she doesn't want to do it, you shouldn't waste your time.

The result has been a race-to-the-bottom between a few important states in enacting laws that make it very hard for shareholders to kick out management or disapprove omanagement's nominee for a board seat, win proxy fights, etc.4.

I read it top to bottom and all over again.

But, then you link to a USGS article at the bottom that starts off with: "North Dakota and Montana have an estimated 3.0 to 4.3 billion barrels of undiscovered, technically recoverable oil in an area known as the Bakken Formation."

Add on top of that roof, plumbing and potential mold issues, and you can easily add another $10K to the bottom line.I'm certainly not saying this isn't a deal, but given the information and numbers you've provided, I'd be very suspicious of jumping into this as your first rehab.

Bottom line: If there was no signed p&s, there was nothing done wrong here.

If I choose to self manage, what's the single best place/book/course that will teach me the fundamentals of managing 1 property top to bottom?

Bottom line, one number, no qualifiers, what has your return on investment been.
