When: Thursday, January 16th, 2014 - 6:30PM to 9ish+ Where: Rosamunde Sausage Grill (& Bar) Swans Market Place, 911 Washington St, Oakland, CA 94607 http://www.yelp.com/biz/rosamunde-sausage-grill-oakland?

Once you show up as a plus member, posting an ad in the Marketplace is exactly the same as posting this thread. 

Would love to hear your assessment. 

Glad to see you are still staying active in the market place!

Perhaps I will make a post in the marketplace on it in the upcoming months.Thanks for listening to my podcast and for the kind words.

Our policies are well documented and they would have been explained to the tenant, and an acknowledgement signed, when the lease was executed.1) Rent is due on, or before, the first of the month;2) If any balance remains outstanding as of 17:00 local time on the 4th of the month, a late fee of $50.00 is assessed (for a first offence).  

Other qualifying criteria I will be looking for include assessed value, absentee owner, and equity. 

Try calling For Rent signs, put ads on Craigslist, put up bandit signs, visit your local REIA, put an ad in the BP Marketplace, etc.

The special assessments on top of HOA can eat you alive.

When the file was transferred to another desk, they quickly accepted a different offer at 72% (same everything except buyer and price).As mentioned, banks' (investors') assessments of their own liquidity, capital requirements and exposure to the market have a lot to do with it.
