Good luck and God Speed , Michael Short 

I'll send u a colleague request with my info .. god speed, Michael Short  

I'm trying to speed up my investments a little and the job only does so much.

They are more expensive than stick built but the value is in their speed.

Deposit.If they move, clean it up, and get market rates.You may want to give the tenants a few hundred dollars to help them move, which is only a few months of profit from your new rent--well worth it, if it speeds them happily out the door.

@Brandon McCombs you really need to get up to speed on your state's landlord/tenant laws. 

We are building High Speed Rail there, investing 70B worth of infrastructure to connect Central Valley to the coast.

As you have likely heard, cheapest may not always be the best route, especially when it comes to contractors.Bone dry is solid, but if I were out of state I would prefer to just have a GC on speed dial who will ensure quality work and hold subs feet to the fire. 

@Jorge Ruiz , you CAN make money on condos, but definitely put the due diligence machine into full speed mode.I've never owned a condo that didn't come with a "Special Assessment" of multiple thousands of dollars.

At this speed I will be lucky to get it on the market by 2015.
