Let me introduce you to Alan at Century 21 he works with the eagles.

its a very very competitive market for buyers and investors...a good deal usually gets bid up in "eastern" la aka silverlake echo park highland park mt washington eagle rock etc...theyve become extremely desirable. 

The only silver lining again is that the tenant is gone for the next 2 weeks and i'm not paying hotels to stay elsewhere.Do I try and fight the good fight that it was a misleading/fraudulent disclosure report, or do i take my lumps on this and it is what it is?

If the property is located near you in California PA that is a pretty low exposure area I would consider possibly working with a agent to get mass exposure which will help ensure you get the best price  that you can , sometimes not working with an agent  you can  find yourself lowering your price with a silver-tongued buyer .  

Integrity and reputation are critical.A good name is to be chosen rather than great riches, and favor is better than silver or gold.

I have had good luck with first eagle bank in Chicago.

Based out of Eagle Rock. 

I live in the Silver Spring, MD, area but would probably look to invest in other areas of the country.

Montgomery County and Fairfax County I generally like for appreciation (Not like the super juiced kind of DC, but still better than average) in areas like Fairfax, Rockville, Silver Spring, Herndon.  

Now I know ;)Are there any legal eagles out there who can give me some advice on solving this.!?
