When doing your own tile job, first make sure you are using the correct underlayment for the job you are doing.ex. if you are tiling a shower use a mold and moisture resistant cement backerboard or greenboard.

I'm not doubting your intelligence and talent here, but even the best investors I know had many years of "background" before jumping in "full time".

No doubt you have other constraints on the type or size of property you want.

I doubt you will be able to do that.The eviction is already out there on the court records, so how do you intend to un-report that?

It's doubtful anyone but your closest friends or family would loan you money like this.Jeff

Then the next buying opportunity comes at the "courthouse steps" auction.I would doubt that the people cutting grass would know much, but again it doesn't hurt any to ask.

chris, that 28k is with 75% occupancy. sorry for not mentioning it...the 1200 sq. ft unit is currently 2 bed. she pays 850 and is behind. i can get more if it's 3 bed, but doubt it would be over $900. unless i make 10k profit per year (enough to change a roof at least), it's a waste of time.

I can say without a doubt that everything you will learn if not more from a paid program can be learned through reading and sites like this.

I doubt inner-city Dayton investors are shaking in their boots.As for making money in places where funds are active (they are very active where I am), lots of us are trying to buy what they won't/can't buy and then selling it to them.

Dean, I doubt it's that hard, that is more of a brokerage loan and perhaps they do hard money as well.
