@Amie Peralta wow, thanks for that insight on SF area. Incredible and happening quickly. Sounds a little like a great reset, but I don't know what the heck comes of this. REI on steroids!

@Pete Harper if that’s the case on news sources, where do you suggest I look? I figured google wouldn’t show what DuckDuckGo might, that’s why I suggested a less biased search engine. I just pick news sources that lead me to stuff I find relevant. No need for the attack on Revolver as they are working hard like others to cover news and have an opinion like me. If you really search it, there’s articles all over the place about this as another post mentions WSJ.

@Cody L. well this logic pretty much relates to the stimulus being printed out. The government is so big and they are putting money in peoples pockets, so take advantage of it. Blackrock and others or so big and putting money in people’s pockets etc. The problem we have is power consolidation against the power of the people which used to make us free based on our version of government in the US.

I agree to be opportunistic in the present, but to have vision and knowledge for where this stuff leads and how to prepare. It sounds like this thing is bigger than the cred it’s getting here, and specifically with Blackrock, and I would guess many shells they can operate under.

@Mike Hillman to you last point, and thank you for all the info and insight, I’ll be studying that as it’s advanced, I believe that, and don’t call me crazy, that all this get as big as you can and control as much of the country as you can is bad for us. I have thought about this, and if there was anything government did, it should be to put all the corporations and franchises in their place, and only let them operate in a 100 mile radius or one state. Extreme, and unintelligent i know, but we need some real vision to ever move forward as a country. Corporations and these Firms have all grown far to big, for far too long, and it’s narrowing down. It turns out Blackrock owns a bunch of stake in some of the largest companies as well.

I think assuming they are just after 300 unit apartment complexes as usual is ignoring the fact that they are buying up houses all over the place right now and new housing tracts that are finished and out bidding people by 20% over asking. There is something fishy as heck going on here and I really hope someone has info on how they are getting government money involved in this to redistribute trillions. Thanks again, I’m still trying to learn about this and I appreciate the knowledge!

@Christian Lopez that sucks man!

They are a crappy contractor if they can’t eat their words and get the job done. I would be careful to communicate with them through email to get that deposit back. There’s no telling how this will roll out whether you get your roof done by them or get your money back. Any way you look at it, you’re getting screwed, and the only way to get screwed less is to deal with people like this as little as possible and move on to the something better hopefully!

Word of mouth referenced contractors from from someone the contractor respects will hold the contractor’s feet to the fire. They don’t want to lose their cheerleaders.

A last ditch effort could be to ask the contractor for some references haha?

@Tyana Blackledge the creativity is there... Your biggest difficulty you can learn from personal experience or other’s is the holding time, and the difficulties of rehabbing anything in a reasonable amount of time, especially in this market. It takes way longer to fix these things than people think. You can do some ninja moves to come up with money probably, but the grindstone of making the house a reality and not getting stuck letting your interest eat your profits up is something that has to be calculated in. Other than the pain and suck, it’s hopefully rewarding once you get though a couple survival flips. Hope that helps your efforts. You can do it!

@Stephen Bradford well it’s frustrating and I think people have a hard time understanding why it should be illegal, unless they follow the path of history, the truth and reason to where it leads. The corporations become a wing of the government (not really gov. at all) to carry out a time of enslaving people as an exercise of evil over man kind, as a battle over life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness! One side of the people thinks about how they can do as well for themselves within this rollout of corporate wealth transfer, and the other side considers how to root this process out and stop it. But we all know it’s been happening for years, just accelerating now to see if they can finally have power like China to say you can only have one child etc.
