Some businesses are an eye sore. 

The great thing about being away for so long is that my eyes are completely fresh.

And you get the benefit of having over 80 past ones to catch up on.Locate and attend 3 different local REIA club meetings great place to meet people gather resources and info.

I LOVE this type of thing and when i talk real estate with my current friends and what my plans are, I can literally see their eyes glaze over.... not very motivating..

During the Monday morning hours is probably your best chance to catch their attention and the rest of the week to call to action.  

But as long as everybody's eyes are wide open and the process is like I am reading it, it should work as long as a bank will do the purchase the way you want.

If you keep your eye on the properties sometimes they deeply discount the units to unload their inventory. 

Ther'es a sectioned off room with door, no egress, so I know I would catch flack on that if the inspector is paying attention. 

And you get the benefit of having over 80 past ones to catch up on.Two Great reads, I bought both J.

And so on, this helps to keep a eye on over runs on the Budget, Also, I would try to line out a Construction Schedule complete with projected milestones.this also help to keep your project moving forward.
