Excalibur has had some shake ups in the past but I've wound up with prop. mgrs. that are generally responsive.

Know when to take your losses and lick your wounds.

Long story short I wound up renting out my previous home and refinancing some of the equity out of it for a down payment on the 4plex.I wound up making a deal on a great property and purchased it about 20k back of appraised value and used that equity to do some renovations to the unit I was going to move into.

Let's just put it this way - it instantly became obvious exactly why they had wound up in a homeless shelter, and exactly why they had needed the assistance of an agency (as opposed to just their Sec 8 voucher) to get housing - it was that their issues made them un-housable.Some straight Sec 8 tenants have been okay. 

Even after trying to explain to her that I never have sold any drugs (only drug dealers own Pit bulls as we all know) I wound up having to sign some sort of affidavit stating that I just checked the box out of curiosity.

Well this is what i have learned from a local Vet: In his situation he tells me that his rent is paid by the Gov't because he was wounded in the line of duty.

I wound up going with 2 new machines from Midwest Laundries.  

They had a large homebuilding company that actually survived the market downturn but they wound it up because there is simply no economic reason to build.

If he doesn’t need the money and isn’t using a 1031 it wound not make sense to sell at 94 years old rather than get everything stepped-up on his death

There's been some stories on BP, especially one recently about a guy who helped his clients buy "turnkey", who actually wound up investing in D/F neighborhoods.
