Oh yea, our week break consisted of working two nights, once because we had a heavy rain and found out a sky light leaks during down pours and another to deal with the thermostat issue listed above.So if this stuff scares you head for another investment, if it doesn't scare you then go for it.

Additionally a rule such as 1-1-6, which seems Un-American by limiting competition in business-to-business transactions, probably would have resulted in many individuals and business unknowingly violating the rule and being subject to potential fines for promoting the repair of properties and helping to stabilize homes values.I would think that many would ask “Why did the Board (DORA) promote the interest of mortgage brokers, limit competition, and slow the recovery of property values (and the economy) when many of the statutes passed to help protect tax payers and homeowners from predatory lending and restore a stability to property values?”

That's your competition.

But I wrestled since a kid and I enjoy competition.

Be wary of townhouses as you can find some associations that are over-run with rentals and competition is impossible.

This is my first auction & have no idea how much competition will be there & if anyone will be bidding against me - I'm assuming if there are other investors in the area - that they might be interested in it and bid.

A heavy vinyl wallpaper can hide a myriad of cracks and patches in an old horsehair plaster wall/ceiling!

It is a hard cruel world, but no matter the situation, the natural course of competition will always find the better way to solve a problem.

If you have a very good marketing system in place, it will do the heavy lifting for you.
