If you are not familiar with the area (selecting a location because property is cheaper than your home base), often that great deal might be 10 blocks in the wrong direction and you get burned. 

Keep in mind that if you burn all of your equity in your home and the market where your home is goes down, you own something that is now a net negative if you sell.

Great energy with this group.

However when I think logically about depreciating damages I use this as an example:If I built a house and rented it for 28 years without making any improvements, the tenant could burn the house to the ground and not get charged one penny because the entire house was fully depreciated down to $0.

Because your choices are to sell the property or to fix the property, and fixing the property is going to cost a lot in time and energy.

Yeah, but that gets tiring and burns up the GCs time.

I stopped for a while to do life coaching and energy work, and then I met a guy who was a broker that wanted to get more into the development side so we teamed up with his dad, a lawyer, and started up.As things have progressed, I am now finding lots of deals, and as it turns out, the guy I am working with is not really delivering the investors like he said he could/would so I am learning that part of the process now too as most of my deals sit quietly on the sidelines.

I burned up the help line.. :)  

Most of the products I order are to sanitize, but eco-friendly, not only for the environment, but I do not care to burn my lungs with chemicals or get cancer. 

If they won't release it, refinance the note and bring enough equity that you can exclude that parcel from the refinance.As far as the ROW owner, I'd burn his *** for not being cooperative.
