The refrigerator was full of food, there was a half eaten piece of pizza on the stove.

@Alicia McElroy the 2007 appraisal is just a piece of history like a magazine or newspaper from 2007, a thing of the past. 

Regarding the non-accredited investors, I also am looking for an independent auditor to audit the opening balance sheet of the new entity. 

Running an operating business is a lot more involved than owning a piece of real estate, it's a full time occupation.

p=*full-imageWould it be much cheaper if asked to cut in pieces and leave in place vs. hauling it away?

I switch out all the electrical sockets and light switches from the pole type to the one piece with unbreakable strike plates also in white.

Find the chimney clean-out; this is usually like a 6-inch diameter piece of sheet metal with a handle on it.

The wood was very nice but had a lot of short pieces but for $2/sq ft. it was worth it.

That said, one trick one of PM's uses is to leave out 1 piece of paper and show up unannounced to their current residence to have them sign it.

So we see that if you know how to move your pieces just right you can make money in real estate, that's why we would like to stick to flipping or building since we kind of have an idea how it works.
