I spray the leaves with Round-up on a warm dry day (normally wouldn't use it, but sometimes chemicals are your friend), then plan to go out in a day or two and remove as much as possible.  

If you understand real estate as an asset class and can get better results for the IRA by having the IRA invest in real estate, then such an plan is superior to having 100% of your retirement savings in market-based assets.An IRA (self-directed or otherwise) is reasonably well protected from lawsuits that stem from you. 

During my first MF purchase, it was pretty cut and dry on what I could afford because I was only going off of a W2.  

In other areas of the state where we work the foreclosures have almost dried up.No real complaints. 

This stems from I've sold houses as a Realtor for years and I wish I was better at getting seller clients.

It was dry at that point (final walk through was almost 3 months after this happened), how would I notice if I wasn't specifically looking for it?

We have not had it inspected  by an engineer yet but I feel pretty confident that all we will have to do is bond the existing piers  because they are dry stacked and not mortared. 

And you've got a lot of equity drying up.   

It's an example of people drying to drum up business and camouflaging their real intend. 

@Jennifer Doyle you also have to be careful that it's not just the dry wall.
