As I believe that a solid foundation in any venture in life is key, this is the beginning of laying and building that foundation.I found this site by watching the Eventual Millionaire podcast with BP's own, Joshua Dorkin, and decided to check it out.

I was cleaning up a rental that I have , its on a wooded lot , I move the refrigerator and there is a 3 foot black snake laying there ,I pick it up no big deal , But when I came up behind the guy helping me and said " here hold this " and this 50 year old guy screamed like a 12 year old girl , ran out the door and called me every 4 letter word ever created , it took me about 15 minutes to stop laughing .

Oh, but wait. 

If you don't mind me asking what was the offer you put in.Well I would rather wait till I get a reply on it.But it was cheaper than asking price.I figure rip up all the carpet and really hope the hardwoods are good underneath.

Our market isn't delineated into neighborhoods that are section 8 and not, but we've rented to a bunch of them.I think the waiting list for Section 8 assistance here is 18 months.

Ha I can't wait to do a deal but I really want to know what I am doing first.

I have giving the landlord over a month to fix the problem, and in that time my children did become sick while waiting.

Historically, I have paid 30% less for labor and 15% to 20% less for materials than I would have had I waited until the roof failed.

If you run the numbers, you'll see that your additional cash earned per month by an all cash purchase will not even come close to make up for the total cash out lay you made to purchase the house.

I started it after 6 months but had to cancel because it was going to jeopardize the new financing on my personal residence so that's when I brought in a partner and we waited things out.
