Let’s just pray we avoid any monster hurricanes this season, and watch the sidelined investors come flooding back in.

I sold firetrucks for 3 years after leaving the fire service where I bought trucks as a Fire Chief.

, the bigger concern by far is what you can't see: the liens and title issues.When you're buying at auction, especially a property that's been boarded up for two years, the real monsters lurking are things like unknown tax liens, mechanics liens, and other encumbrances that can attach to the property.

Just a close figure of what you think you could come up with for your truck and whatever else you might have.

And probably will be out very soon anyway.I know a MF investor with 5,000 units who shows up on day one with 30 contractors and trucks full of cabinets, countertops, carpet and supplies - they have the first apartments turned over in 48 hours after closing.

(This is not directed at the original poster, in fact it has nothing to do with him at all.)Because of the endless posts on the subject and the obvious attempt by a guru on Facebook to get people directed to his Facebook page, people get tired of it.It comes across as "Is this the proper way to rob an Ice Cream truck"?

You’ll check if their work is good, if they look like they know what they’re doing, if they have a late-model pickup truck—things that indicate they are competent and professional.When a motivated seller does a Google search, they’re no different.

And before any mention of affordability vs say 1974, keep things in honest context, how affordable is a truck today vs 1974, a meal out, clothes, a vacation, really anything and everything..... ???? 

My truck is a rolling toolbox, with a camper top on the back, and I can often take care of minor issues right on the spot when I make rounds.

My work around was to find a 75 year old dude with no credit and no assets, who wanted a new truck.
