Carpet in the rest. 

My question to the rest of the community based on this post is: can you discriminate because of occupation?  

Doug Hopkins and the rest of them did nothing to help walk us though any deals.

Oh yeah....after 6 months gone and not a dime paid....the poor tenant called me asking to come get the rest of her things!  

I would like to use the rest to put a 10% down payment on a $100,000 home to flip while I live there. 

Investor friend comes back with will put in $150k expect us to front the rest and still split 50/50.  

I would pay off personal debts and probably do private lending with the rest. 

On my time off, I was contemplating on finding my niche and do something that will make me happy for the rest of my life.

YesOK, so real estate investing is hard and it can suck because people... well that about sums it up - people... they are fickle and they do not like the idea of anyone knowing that they have what they have or did what they did, even if it is a matter of public record... as for the address of that couple, use their phone number from your caller ID to look them up... if that doesn't work, send them another letter... someone once said something about the fortune being in the follow-up... if they call back and are even more angry, explain that unless they identify themselves they cannot be removed from a list of addresses... as for your "angry cop" - get his/her badge number and precinct... then call the precinct and ask to speak with him/her ... when there is no such officer (as is likely) you can rest assured that people... if there is such an officer, request an in-person meeting at the precinct with both the officer and his/her supervisor (bring your information about your company, your processes and everything...)

I'll start with 2 reasons that I see and let you list off the rest for yourself:1.
