Hi guys, I have a tenant on one side of a duplex in South Park who's indicated that when it rains, she has water coming through the back door and  now it seems some tiles may be coming up on the floor inside the door area as well.

As long as you have not signed or stated any indication of solely and exclusively working with one agent, then you are free to browse the market as you wish.If you have signed an exclusive agreement with an agent, then I would go back and look in the documentation to see what it says about you finding the properties without your agent. 

I remember Larry Kudlow idiotically going on and on about the "Goldilocks Economy" despite clear indications things were going wrong.The economic cycle is long.

From what I can tell comps indicate a value of $150k based on a couple recent sales.  

I'm waiting for a bid for that work, and early indications are that it could be between 7K and 10K to get the water running, maybe more.  

I see nothing that indicates that the San Diego market going forward will be different than history indicates (but history does show RE cycles so you need to know you can weather a down cycle). 

That's right, zero.List of super successful people who didnt have a college degreeMark ZuckerbergBill GatesSteve JobsMichael Dellmy granddad (no high school)The richest man in China (no middle school i believe)this one dude i know who everyone said was dumb, but he has 2 successful stores selling used appliances and just bought his wife a new benz suv at the age of 26. hes got more money than any college grad i personally know.And millions moreOne of the biggest things i've learned in life is that having anti-college beliefs is one of the TOP indicators for financial success, and being pro-college is a TOP indicator for financial mediocrity or worse in the future.

In that article it quotes § 47a-3e, 47a-6 of the code and neither seem to indicate this is a requirement of the lease. 

Don't just target the obvious CL ads, go after the indirect indications that there is a house to sell, such as an estate sale.

I would be able to email you the comps pulled (sold properties near my subject properties) if you message me your email and indicate that you would like to see the comps I pulled.
