Just look up the murder rate there.

It was murder getting a refi on a 2 family new construction I built in April.

Are there regular murders?

Day after I won the auction the code mysteriously appeared.

So even though there was no "official" minimum period of them collecting interest, it sure as hell felt like it to that borrower, lo and behold we finally got it, and were able to close the refi, mysteriously right after the 12th month passed since they took it out, that must have been an "odd coincidence"... ahem.There are honest and forthright HML out there, to be certain.

how many murders a year how many thefts? 

Like @John Underwood commented, the murders of the 2 medical tourists has been all over the news everywhere.

I was really pissed.Even back then, it was something mysterious till HP came out with it's calculator that initially ran $500.00 that calculates it.

If a tax sale property is mysteriously destroyed within 12 months after purchase, and then subsequently not redeemed where does that leave the investor?

Its a lost cause. (42nd and post has the highest murder rate in city but not crime rate, from what I've gathered ) Yet 33rd and meridian shows up on these lists.
