There are 3 identical lots next to mine (with motivated sellers) as part of the same development plan.thanksKen

Watergate was about a break in to steal papers, and the coverup resulted in a President being impeached, not one person died.

Maybe the totals year over year would be pretty identical if you factored in short sales as well.I definitely see a lot more short sales on MLS than I remember from last year.What I am seeing is a lot less of the lower priced houses (sub 100k) these days.

If their credit reports check out and don't have any flags, I may meet with them and go over the Lease Agreement.The only thing that I'm a little uncertain about, is the payroll receipts that she sent me... they look like they were typed on a typewriter or something, though every document is identical to the others in format.

The FTC mandated this from the credit bureaus in order to help prevent/curtail identity theft.

The tenant has to verify their identity to pull credit, you cannot just get their approval on your application.

We just upgraded an electrical service yesterday and we put in aluminum wire because of the stealing.

A recent example of that is: http://www.azcentral.com/business/articles/0615gr-fraud0615-ON.htmlThough ccr's should limit the dues increase each year, the board can override that with special assessments, and though any greater or special assessment should probably be voted on by the entire membership, boards don't always see it that way, and the voting process is too easy to steal.

As an example, dual pane windows may cost $12,000 to have installedbut if you have two identical houses except for those dual pane windowsthe average buyer will not pay an additional $12,000 for the house thathas them.

The homeowner seems very keen to work with me & I would love to be able to offer him a solution that would suit us both.For the purpose of protecting the homeowners identity I have named him Bob!!!
