yo blood!

So... here is the thing... I was one new.. GASP.. hard to believe no? yah Mon.. I didn't jump out of ma mama with  my SEO awesomeness in one hand and my amazing flipping skilz in the other.

No no, I was a little monkey before becoming the big ape.

Wait.. I am SURE I had a point with this...

ohh yeah...

Some things you learn only by actually doing it. Yes awesome post you made, defintiely listen to the gurus here what you should ask the agent....

However. it is SO so SOOO friggin hard to find a good agent that will go out of their way to dig deep for you.

What you should do, is have a very verrrrrry aggressive home inspector do an inspection. Then I would grab his report, and give that to a really busy, never-have-time-for-you contractor and give him a bit of cash and tell him, I will give you pictures of my girlfriend if you manage to find something wrong wit the house (then show him a picture of  the latest adult star and tell him that is your gf!).

Do not just trust an agent. I have seen really crappy ones in my ohhh 3 days as an investor. My point is, if you are ready to dive, be sure you buy right.  Do termite inspection septic inspection well inspection, heck inspect the sellers dog for worms.

You can't do too much here! Now go gitem tiger.

talking about tiger..

anyone else had an unhealthy crush obsession with Cheetara from thundercats?

 Ow Lawd!!
