PM is definitely in the future because next fall I will be going back to school full time and I am in not in the mood to take a 2am call because the toilet is jacked up.

The TV gets 4 channels, there's more bed bugs inside than there are feral cats running around outside screaming all hours of the night, the tub has pubic hair stuck on the wall, and the toilet keeps running and refilling, not to mention the walls that are so thin, you can hear the guy TWO rooms over watching Home Shopping Network all night.

The property is also appreciating in value so that’s a plus.When you came up with the $13,000 carrying costs, did you factor in maintenance costs such as new furniture, paint, toilets, bathroom/kitchen faucets, etc?

They should have taken action to protect their stuff.

Welcome Levi, and congratulations for taking action.

Especially if you have limited resources being the "boots on the ground" for someone that is out of town but interested in the market could be a great way to get started.Find the deals and help get it taken down and get a small piece of the action in return.

(no offense REA folks) Investors are often 'harmed' by the actions of an appraiser.

A lot of people form LLC for the wrong reason and just throw that money down the toilet while it provides no asset protection whatsoever.Good luck.

@Clay Smith I have been at the point you were at 5yrs ago for the past 7 months. i'm ready to take action and would like to network. it's inspiring to hear others post on this forum.

So I'm basically putting the ball in my own hands and holding all responsibility for my own actions.
