It's like you are playing baseball with unlimited balls but 1 strike.  

I imagine the regulations will get stricter. 40% commercial property tax, 15.5 % hotel tax stays, 2.5% cap (15% less STRs), 3 strike your out rule, verification and vetting through AirBnB, etcBut why would you not invest in an oligopoly?

Threats of violence are a 1 strike you are out.  

I know what my "strike zone" is. 

., and try to learn what seems to work and what doesn't.The trick in internet marketing is striking the balance between just enough info to entice the reader to dig in on your article vs. too much info on the page so they don't need to stick there very long and leave you quickly.

Hi ,Subject : NJ Small claim court on security deposit issue , landlord didn't return.I was living in 1 unit of a 3 unit building.all 3 units are occupied by tenants.I lived there for around 6 years, after that I bought my own home near by in same city(Bayonne)Before leaving I gave proper 30 days notice as mentioned in our agreement, Landlord requested me to stay 15 more days I agree on that also, and paid all rent .landlord's property manager came twice on property and did inspection and didn't complain on any thing.We left the apartment in good condition other than wear and tear that caused by 6 years with 2 kids.me and my wife worked really hard to clean every thing after we moved all our stuff.once I left I didn't get any email or statement of damages for 30 days( we left on Dec 15th)on 31st day(Jan 16th) I got email from landlord with lots of pictures like dirty carpet(some spots), graffiti on wall, some holes on door.Carpet was generally clean, but there were some spots at one place that I couldn't clean, also graffiti on wall m made by my who grew up there from age of 6 months to 6 years.these graffiti could be easily washed away or erased, but property manager told me , since there was no paint in last 6 years, so they would paint it so I didn't work on that.door had hole because of stopper, it was striking with door, so it was quite natural as door were hollow from inside., so for 30 days no email from landlord, on 31st day he sent me lots of pictures mentioned different type of damages.In the mean time other tenant told me that landlor has modified the apartment and added one more bed room, but dividing the living room.after around 37 days landlord sent me a cheque of around $300 out of $2500 deposit.This is my situation, please advise.

This always strikes me as odd because our locations are prime real estate and conventional wisdom has been proven false for us. 

We had 5 trees removed after a lightning strike, and it took us about 7 estimates before we got a reasonable price and had the work done.

Next step is to check status and ownership of boarded up properties, look at comps and rental rates in the area, drive the area at night to see what kind of activity is going on and walk it during the day and strike up conversations with residents about the area.If one doesn't wish to run with the pack and fight the competition, there's much more to it than just running numbers and putting in offers.

My guess is that the caller, daughter of executor who called you, will affect your ability to strike a deal, even if not a beneficiary under the will, as she has possession, hence can play a role in the timing of your anticipated acquisition.
