I've had my tenants complain about feeling unsafe with strangers coming in/out with suitcases all the time and making a lot of noise.

Multiple theft callsA few burglariesA few harassment calls Several other rather minor calls (dog barking, noise disturbances, etc.)Looks like a C- / D+ neighborhood to me.

Great luck on your grind.

I am sick and tired of the grind. 

I bought foreclosed home with all kinds of weird noises, but they all can be explained with simple physics.

Towing, minimum housing standards, noise, trash disposal, permitting and code enforcement, environmental issues, the list goes on and on.

Instead of working 5 short sales from start to finish yourself, do any of you guys have a Realtor handel everything and you just handel the major stuff(like negotiations)...I am just so strapped on time, but I know how to find deals and how to do them too(not tooting my own horn, because don't get me wrong, I am a newbie still) but is there anyway to do deals and take all a lot of the daily grind stuff out and put it on others who also benefit too?

As the graphic notes there was a period when house prices fell because manufacturing techniques improved enough to drive down prices independent of what land values might have been doing.I wonder how much of the recent noise in house prices relates to better information flow given the Internet.

If you can get enough capital to buy a bulk portfolio, customize it to your area and the type of homes you want to buy (little to no renovation, 50% of the value, etc...) then you can do much better than grinding out short sales or trying your luck at the trustee sales.

Assuming it's thinset, the product (Diamabrush) will be able to grind it down to even out the surface?
