I am attempting to jump in head first without cracking my skull :/.

Tenant underwriting includes reading between the lines in all areas of aspects you look at to establish a character profile of your tenant.

Integrity in a person implies honesty, fairness, ethics, and moral character.

I wouldnt jump to conclusions and go spending money to fix anything before attempting to narrow the problem down.

Heck, just the awareness by a contractor that the agreement/contract was memorialized via audio, may in and of itself be reason for a contractor to "perform" instead of digging his heels in and posturing in an attempt to change the terms of the agreement at "crunch time", or worse, not performing and then seeking redress through small claims court, mechanics lien extortion or who knows what. 

Attempts to get info from the company don't get returned.

What you witnessed was my failed attempt at humor.Also I misquoted the quote you quoted me on.

I'll be traveling a couple hours out of my area in an attempt to find investment friendly neighborhoods.

I am also going to study real estate markets in Iowa in an attempt to locate a the right market for me to move to when I get back home.I have found that a focused effort is much more effective than blindly throwing darts.

Can I still attempt title insurance to make sure there are no other liens or does the sheriff's deed imply that those were eliminated?
