I have battled back.

I have a feeling the current market is scaring off potential buyers, and the area has a strong smell...I'll have to look into why it reeks of cow patties, but other than that the homes are very nice.So what indicators should I be investigating?

My situation is that I am currently involved in a major legal battle and need to reserve my funds to be able to deal with that.

I am leaning toward doing moving my account into a checkbook control LLC with Guidant Financial, after this experience.JonRumor that such a structure falls foul with the IRS.

Just because no foul has been called does not make something legal.

Then again, when I walk into a property I am going to purchase and I smell urine, we all know that is really the scent of money.

We need to invent Smell-a-vision !!!

IMHO that's why CA is so broke as a state. they are too high on their horses to let this market take its course and go through what it must go through in order to recover.as a "bulk buying bottom feeder", were paying over 50 cents in CA. it makes sense that buying 1 or 2 at a time would put you in the 75-80 range.as an investor, i say hold in CA. don't buy yet. their crap smells as bad as anyone else in GA and OH and their market will still get rocked.jeff

Do I smell or something?

If the tenants smell money, the sky is the limit.
