No to mention that it only weighs 1.5 pounds.

I am still pounding the pavement and doing my due diligence through my network of contacts in RE to find that little needle that i am so desperately searching for.

I'm just a little concerned that posting all the logistics about where we're doing deals may bring some unwanted competition.kinda like being a free bird dog for the well capitalized & tech savvy investors...Any thoughts?

When you reach 350 pounds, "your goal", ( as per pic, I was at that weight once) you may eat FREE for the rest of your life!!!!!

They won't last long because they don't understand the needs of their end buyers, and they are probably offering crap deals.If you get a wholesaler trying to quickly pawn off a property tell em to "pound sand!"

IMO- the 2 biggest issues a HOA faces areParking & Pets.Many HOA rules I have seen limit the number of vehicles allowed.Pets- #, leash, waste disposal, noise, type (have seen some that limit to 1 dog not more than X pounds).Tons of other ones depending on what type of HOA you are but I think those are usually the big 2.Oh, and a Collection Policy for dues that clearly state what happens (letter sent to owner, fine...) if an Owner is late or is not paying.Matt

If they don't match, it's an absentee owner.Granted, this approach requires some programming skill, but you could probably hire a script monkey to pound out something in a week, and that script would be able to generate a new list for you any time you'd like... just download the latest version of the database from the county and run the script.

> > In all cases, these sales turned out to be win-win deals for the buyer and seller; the seller was able to get rid of an unwanted property to a buyer who loved it, and the buyer was able to get his new home at an affordable payment and interest rates with none of the usual costs (points, application fees etc) inherent in more conventional mortgage transactions.

SAMPLE LETTERS**IF YOU HAVE A REAL ESTATE LICENSE* Dear Senator [name];My name is Vena Jones-Cox and I am a life-long resident of Cincinnati.I am writing you to encourage you to vote NO on HR 1728, the "Mortgage Reform and Anti-Predatory Lending Act".While many of the provisions of the act are positive steps toward mortgage reform, the inclusion of private owners in the act (see section 101(3)(e)) will enormously reduce the housing choice of Ohioans and the ability of home owners to sell properties in this already-slow market.As a real estate broker, I have seen several dozen cases in the past year of home sellers and buyers coming to an agreement for an installment sale on a property that the owner desperately needed to sell (often to avoid foreclosure) and the buyer desperately wanted to buy, but could not raise the downpayment needed for conventional financing.In all cases, these sales turned out to be win-win deals for the buyer and seller; the seller was able to get rid of an unwanted property to a buyer who loved it, and the buyer was able to get his new home at an affordable payment and interest rates with none of the usual costs (points, application fees etc) inherent in more conventional mortgage transactions.In Ohio, these transactions are already regulated by state law: a low maximum interest rate is already in place, and both the buyer and seller are protected by other regulations at the state level.In defense of private property rights, owners should be exempted from the burdensome and unnecessary rules that this law foists upon them.

The tenant weighed 400 pounds, and cracked the floor tiles in the upstairs bathroom, which he didn't bother me about either.
