This is all speaking blindly as it never hurts to call in an expert.

Not much newer plumbing to speak of although my better halfs family is a family of plumbers so that helps out with that concern.

@Brett Tousley, You speak the truth I met with a realtor today regarding an unrelated matter.

I know people that go and speak well of it though.  

I was speaking with a local real estate investor that mentioned his quick glance rehabbing formula he uses on houses he doesn't have the time or ability to do an actual walk through on (he does a lot of volumes, and quite a few of his deals in different markets).

If you get into Series LLCs, you may want to speak with an attorney in your state to see if there are any special requirements there, as several states have been considering whether Series LLCs need stricter name requirements.

@Joe SplitrockOn my recommendation we would request a personal guarantee so the tenant felt their feet where to the fire so to speak, but never was there an intention to execute on enforcing the guarantee.

I would like to speak with an attorney that would be willing to take the matter on contingency and determine if there is some action that can be taken on behalf of me and the other homeowners experiencing this problem to resolve these issues.Thank you.

I can speak very intelligently about what transitional areas in my own market would make great investments....however I would not be able to point to something from an outsider to make them understand my market.

Speaking of which, anyone having any luck using Zillow's pre-forclosure stats?
