Even just buying stock in  a REIT that is liquid while your away cash it in when you get feet dry and then you can check out markets yourself.. 

There are so many reasons the owner may want to sell both properties:The properties may be on the same noteThe owner may be using a 1031 exchange strategyThe owner may just want to liquidate all @ once rather than spread it out w/ multiple transactions.  

I made up a bunch of day glow orange stickers that say "I buy houses" and everytime I go to the grocery store, I place on sticker on the handle of my shopping cart. 

Is it a good idea to buy the Protection Plan from big box stores? 

I wasn't sure if a regular nail gun was used or if it was something special.I talked to a guy at the builder supply store today, and he confirmed a regular coil nailer is used with "stiff stock" 1 1/2" nails.  

I have looked at Box stores and I am not loving the particle board with stickers applied crap they are peddling

"Liquidate the proceeds prior to the 180 days"?  

It will have a strong solvent smell when you apply it, but that will mostly go away when you wipe it up.It comes in a spray can, every car parts store has it, and Wal-Mart usually does too. 

Better yet, find local trash pickers or a small mom & pop thrift store in the area and tell them to haul it all away for you for free!

I was 16 and making 400 bucks a month for driving to the store twice a month and picking up fresh brownies every morning to distributing them to sellers.
