I was home from my first deployment and wanted to stop paying rent and making my money go towards an investment.

@Jonathan Newsome It's not necessarily that your current contacts are people that you should stop working with so that you can find people who do trust you, it's more about continuing to build rapport and building trust with your current contacts.

In fact, never stop looking for buyers. 

So, on 3/1, on the way to the townhome to pressure wash the rear deck, I stopped and picked up 2 Filtrete 20x20x1's... and then around 3pm-ish, I texted them that the rear deck and brick were fully pressure washed and I wanted to let everything dry, including the caulk so I could come by in the morning and hit the trim.     

What would you say would be more efficient?
Pay down debt before investing further to open up your debt-to-income ratio, or:
save up cash to purchase a rental property for instant cash flow and use the income to pay...

I made the mistake of just going with the first agent that got recommended to me and stopped looking.

I guess my point is - I think a lot of businesses are prepared for an economic slowdown, but who is prepared for a complete stop of all production?

The only downside of a HELOC is that if the market is to take a poo the bank can put a stop on your credit line at any time.

maybe i'll have to stop by when i'm in town next time :) i was actually there this past weekend to check out an investment property!

He’s a little hot tempered so If he’s low on money I’m not going to charge him but want him to stop bringing dog over AND florida law says you have to send a certified letter outlining whatever you are going to keep for damages.
