Property taxes are based on how much your neighbor was paid to leave the area and then you're punished with his/her assessment, regardless of your current income/misfortune/hardship.For now, don't improve your property and leave it moldy.  
Carol Donaldson Horror story - self directed IRA. Any advice?
10 January 2016 | 7 replies
@Carol,I agree with the other posters that you should publish the name of the company so the marketplace can punish them for their ineptness by not doing business with them.What you are describing has a foundation in actual compliance, but sounds quite out of line, and their unwillingness to work closely with you to resolve the problem is entirely unacceptable.A pension rollover should not require a statement.  
Joe A. Would you evict a 102 year old woman?

“It just shows a perfect example of how tenants without strong rent-controlled protections are vulnerable to displacement and injustices.”I would not have given a vacate notice to ANYONE who paid my mortgage for the last 30 years and kept the place nice (I would have just found another deal and housed my daughter there or worked with the family in an effort to coordinate a plan for housing the tenant to soften the blow), but landlords should not be punished and criticized in general when following the current laws that were put in place.
Stinson Bland Don't Make These Mistakes

Great story, the only puzzling piece is that the seller did not call you back and explain what had happened and thank you for your insight, perhaps a deal could have been struck with you, although I can see how the emotions took over and the need to punish the foolish person who called himself an investor.Let this be a leeson to anyone who is intrigued with becoming a wholesaler, learn the ropes and do things right or make a bad name for yourself and likely not make any money, just enemies.

Account Closed Bought my home and the ending was a nightmare

I Wish we did.. keep guys like you who want to run to an attorney for any little thing in check.And like Tim Said the only one who would hire an attorney for the case presented is either a fool, or has money and just wants to punish someone because they are mad and the attorney taking the case has limited ethics as they should deny taking the case in the first place.. as frivolous. your opinions are based not on reality and experience were as mine and Tims are .
Kenneth Garrett Move in Move out fee v. security deposit
1 May 2017 | 14 replies
@Kenneth Garrett The move in fee is increasingly popular in the City of Chicago because of its punishing CLTO and the potential penalties for not following the rules re: security deposits.I personally like a move-in fee (at half-month's rent) because it guarantees me $ for things like repainting and minor repairs between tenants that wouldn't otherwise be able to be deducted from the security deposit but always need done.Downside is it is less money in your possession if something major happens.
Michael Mastantuono Is it possible to just buy a mobile home and rent it out?
2 November 2017 | 8 replies
I tried doing the MH thing out here, specifically for Nevada this state is not the state to be taking back notes as the MHD Manufactured Housing Division hates investors and has a barrage of laws in place to make it very difficult and punish and fine investors as well.
