Here are the fruits of my labor - currently wrapping up my first flip (new retaining wall + Texas monsoon season + large hill = a mess...will share in a separate thread). 

This market frenzy is about to burst, there are signs written over the walls.

Try to keep mulch or materials that retain moisture well away from your asset.

It just seems like I'm running into brick walls of fear right now.

My question is about purchasing wall maps of cities and/or towns!  

It appears the upper unit and lower unit are on separate zones, giving us the option of installing two smaller boilers and retaining the existing hydronic plumbing and radiators (provided there are not too many split pipes).  

I need simple examples/advice on how to structure the deals/paybacks/etc so I can intelligently attract and retain investors in this project.Thanks in advance!

I've heard stories about homes that are destroyed because it falls into foreclosure and the owners remove appliances, punch holes in the doors and walls and literally damage so much that starting from scratch to replace and fix everything has to be done.In this case, the duplex (both units) had what I described above.

I'd really like to see newbies succeed, but I know you won't as long as you continue to have the fast buck attitude, as long as you keep following schemes and trying to implement systems from some seminar or just try to specialize in putting square pegs in round holes as you might on an assembly line.Success is not doing some deal or doing a deal a month until you hit some wall and get lost then get out of the business, when I say success I mean build a business that can last for your working career or lifetime.

Should you rehab the basement for flooring and wall to nice showing for rental units or they are not really important that much for renterMany tks
