Geez Marco, aren't you the guy that has two or three different crap rate calculations on your website for SFR's? 

As soon as they move their crap in your property it won't seem as desirable. 

It’s usually the other way around.But of course we all know the reason they don’t want to use the middle man is because they have a credit score that’s crap, a criminal rap sheet about as long as a BPpodcast, and a shaky stream of income that we don't even want to know where it comes from.

It's frustrating as I would like to buy a few more properties but this area is a crap shoot for rentals at the recovered prices.

Buying it right and adding an "oh crap" line in your  budget can keep you in the black. 

We refused again and asked for the release, 4 days later is today and now he's pulling this crap.

Sounds like the seller is shedding the crap from his portfolio and using that cash for new development.

This win-win crap nothing more than someone painting their black hat white in their minds giving the perception that they are just a wonderful person!   

There's too much crap floating around about what's legal and what's not when it comes to investing...why muddy the waters even more?

So let's say I need to put $10,000 in repairs over the next few weeks before El Niño (which scares the crap out of me, and I'm pretty sure will not be pretty for lots of people with older properties in SoCal...but that's a different story).
