I long for a return to the day of debtors prison.

"then the men just follow along"Then the pregnant daughter and her children, then the babies father of the month when not in prison, and don't forget their numerous dogs.

I continued to be astounded that we were all stuck in a prison on death row and I just found the master key to every lock, yet as it turns out, all these years of hearing how no one wanted to be in prison was just a way of expression their discontent on how the prison treated them, not a true desire to escape.

Presumably it is not notorious like OJ Simpsons house, which the buyer tore down.Side note, in the early 90's I appraised a house on Spyglass Hill in Whittier that had been scene of a murder suicide.

@James Wise I had to replace carpet in an infested house with laminate thinking that would fix it but no.Spent a lot on various fumigation without desired results.However, I read about rubbing alcohol+ mint oil mixture...works like a charm.Make sure you find their 'nest' and apply it there.Just go crazy with it and apply it everywhere.They will die on contact.You may need to get rid of furniture that may serve as hideout for them.Springbox is notorious for this.Goodluck.!

I am notorious for believing cap expense is a long-term killer of RE investors in many markets. 

[Biggerpockets] is notorious for the no and no money down niche, but you really need to have a good financial runway prior to investing otherwise you will lose your bottom when it goes sideways.Read Scott Trench’s book “Set for Life.”Read all the usual books.

I knew that can't be true for Gary as it is notorious for violent crime.

I'm not looking to do that again.But I'm also not looking to pay a plumber $225 for a service call every time I need to unclog a toilet.I have found that "handymen" are notoriously unreliable.

And the worst is the penalties - $10k fine and 30 year prison sentence...?
