Several months later he asked us to tour & review a derelict multi-unit as his first 'going it alone' investment.

I usually pillar to post Art Crosby  just let him know I referred you he does great work, he has inspected almost a dozen properties for me . 

The ability to nail your expenses and timeline down is a fine art.

They cannot be reasoned with.Remember a few years back when some "artist" received a grant and made some offensive "art" involving Jesus?

Diamond Head/Kahala  area: Over 2 1/2 months showing SF house, over 3k sq ft, 16 inquiries, 10 tours, 3 no shows, 3 never arranged a tour. 0 rented.

In the next 5 years they will have a nice landscaped downtown with public art, high end stores, nice facilities. 

Right now my roster reads something like thisHow to Win Friends and Influence People by Dale Carnegie (I very highly recommend it; its spectacular)The Miracle Morning by Hal Elrod (heard about it on the BP podcast)The Classical Liberal Arts of Trivium, an anthology compiled by John MartineauRich Dad, Poor Dad (again) by Robert KiyosakiThe Book on Investing with No (and Low) Money Down by Brandon Turner.This is a little bit more than I usually tackle at once; I like to keep my reading more focused, but all of these books are very interesting and most are pretty easy to read. 

Tables, couch, chairs, beds, bedding, lamps, art, towels....it all adds up.

Thanks Betty; I'll send over the pics to your signature emailArt Allen Great points Art and brings out a bigger point that a broker/contractor/financed flipper can do this at a better margin that someone whose not.

You can schedule with the associate if he/she wants to tour the property.
