For the most part the US is still a declining market and at 100% on what is likely majority investment properties, the lender would have no insulation against any value deterioration in the market.Under that same concept, I would presume many victims suffer from self-inflicted wounds.

Fond memories of the aroma put off by the Mead paper plant.....Study up here on the site, reach out and engage the community.

Lately there has been a disconnect from the world of bank interest to the world of hml. the gap is pretty wide and it can cause our industry in real estate investing to suffer.

I believe the retail value suffers from bad schools and being on the "wrong side of the tracks" with no real ability to get to the cool stuff in Decatur without driving.

We had 31 acres, purchased 10 steers, built a 1 acre lake which was stream fed from our stream with an island in the middle and a dock on the side, over a half-million board feet of commercial timber, a food storage room and even planted a 50 tree fruit orchard.

Send a copy of the ordinance along with a letter to the owner and explain the loss of income being suffered by the nuisance.

Then in my orchard I literally make nothing there per hour because Im trimming and planting apple trees how much does a landscaper cost?

New plants I put in back in October all wilted due to lack of water.

Yes John, another good approach, people that couldn't sell and ended up renting to move, estate deals, see who retires at the plant maybe the spouse has been taking care of the properties, tie landlords to those events in life that motivate them to sell, otherwise you're spinning your wheels. :)
