One that did not want to close, cold feet , the buyer had to sue.

Taken quite a few cold showers, etc.I wouldn't trade it for anything - and have been grateful that the wife at times has been both supportive but willing to make sacrifices of her own.Regarding dust - depends on your remodel. 

It sounds like the company offering this internship simply wants you to do their cold calling and farming for deals. 

Its not that big of a deal to step outside (and keep in mind it gets cold here), it actually gives people a reason to walk around and congregate in ways they would not have otherwise and finally, no one comes home smelling like an old ashtray anymore.Moral of the story?

@Jeff Greenberg  Jeff I don't play in this space.. but know a few folks that own larger multis etc.. and when conversing with them they get cold called by commercial brokers quite frequently.. and I think if someone came to them wanting to buy they would want to vette them financially up front.

I made 12 cold calls for the first time and 5 answered.Where can I find OPM?

If your not capable to correctly purchase a duplex, you really shouldn't be, that's the cold hard truth, getting over-leveraged in a property is making yourself a target for, and inviting, problems to happen.

I have already been hit with a few snow storms and the (really) cold weather is coming in this week.Any thoughts would be super helpful!

Do you prefer to cold call them or send out second postcard?

I put a cup full of white vinegar in the cold air return to help remove the smell.
