6Our # 3 Property is a huge ball of mess that I will be talking about in a later discussion. 

All cash would be easier to get the ball rolling, but the ROI you're looking for may be delayed 6 yrs or so.

Sending some flowers and condolences sounds like a good way to get the ball rolling with the conversation.

This will give you a ball park number to see if your on the same field or one of you is playing football and the other baseball. 

It's no longer a crystal ball play but you're training that for SOLID DOM (of course that is neighborhood dependent)The last insight I would offer is that Philadelphia is a city of neighborhoods.

@James WiseI’d Leave the water in the basement and advertise it as indoor pool - just bring your beach towel and ball .

A 203k is a great tool and I couldn’t have gotten started without it, but it is a ton of paperwork and takes about 3 months on average to close, but it can be done in 2.5 months or take longer if the lender or you aren’t on the ball.

I kind of figured with it being so new to the market, low balling would probably not be in my best interest.

@Neil Schoepp I totally dropped the ball with the SOW.

That being said, a good rule of thumb is to steer clear of advisor's who tell you they can outperform the market (no one has the crystal ball), and advisor's who do not or cannot explain to you how they are paid.
