As an independent contractor who showed losses during the down turn despite his 800 plus credit score, could not access his HELOC because he had not used it in the past.

ThanksGuy:The valve we are testing is on a smaller property, so is for the entire building, but you could use them on a per-unit basis.In purpose-built multiunit buildings if the water is run independently to each unit .. or trunk and T-lines along central corridor on each level, I would consider sub-metering the water.  

@Rory ComptonSince Virginia Beach is a independent city with no county courthouse (what I'm assuming) find a way to pull the death certificate.Whomever filled it out (relative, friend, etc.,) will be your first point of contact.

Deciding where and what you want to invest in depends on what you feel comfortable with.

I talked to my local independent agent for advice. 

Are you suggesting a seller should consider having independent policy?

This may not be screaming deal, but I am 25 years old and I have done my research to ensure that my first crack at this journey towards financial independence will be profitable.

You can call the bluff on fake orders... although you are right they happen often.You can independently verify by calling the primary directory for the installation and requesting contact information for the Public Affairs Officer of your tenant’s unit.

So, now after joining BP and reading blogs from other FI sites, I realize that independence from the cubicle is something that is possible but 1 or 2 properties might not do that.

My wife's work is location independent (online) and we have a 1-and-a-half year old.
