I am going to need a plumbing stack replacement in the next few weeks.

One unit needs the carpet replaced.

When you first said Portland I was not sure if you meant ME or OR.Thanks for the tip John.

I've read the tips from other investors suggesting using a $500 finder's fee, or similar wording.

I remember reading in someone (maybe Groucho Marx's) autobiography, about getting stock tips from a shoeshine boy and an elevator operator prior to the 1929 stock market crash.

There are some other things, pvc drain pipe from kitchen is broken from the sink to the sewer line, replace the gas water heater with a electric, a couple broke windows, storm door.

Any guidence and tips would be very much appreciated.

(just replace "mother" with "friend") ;-)

There are people who have money but have no documentation of income that will satisfy a bank (Those who make cash tips for example) who are excited as all get out to be able to "rent to own".

Thanks for the tips, everbody.
