Like a diet coke and a double cheese burger - one cancels out the other.)

-Another violation was for an illegal build out of a cottage behind the main house, (But there is a Certificate of Occupancy issued for that build out) All these unknowns are keeping me in a limbo about my offer which I've submitted and I've never worked / dealt with Union City.

It'll inspire me while I'm rehabbing my Victorian cottage (again) next month. . .

The government cannot tell McDonalds what it can sell a cheese burger for, yet everyone needs to eat.

The actual map looks closer to Swiss cheese.

he would sell if you wanted to buy he would lease option if you wanted to do that or he would rent.. he owned quite a few homes in the order or 500 or so.. which for the PDX metro area is a LOT  of SFR s in one ownership... in other parts of the country were exisiting SFR s are cheaper than building new there are plenty of owners with hundreds of SFR's  its a cottage industry

If you were a little guy with a pizza place paying 1.90 a pound for cheese and the market goes way up in costs to 2.75 a pound you would get crushed on your profit margins.

There's an entire cottage industry that has developed that deals with mold.

So for example, this property would be a good deal, 100k valued house after repairs * .70 = 70k - 10k repairs - 10k assignment fee, your max offer is 50k, than you re-assign for 60k, you just made 10k, the seller owes 40k on the property, you put it under contract for 50k, so the seller is happy, gets loan paid off, plus gets 10k, you get 10k, and the investor gets the rest of the cheese.

Thanks to Brandon for bringing up those who 'eat cheeseburgers and sit on their couch watching Netflix', because shortly before the webinar I WAS in fact eating a burger (well, turkey burger no bun no cheese) and watching Netflix (I swear it's not my fault, American Horror Story is like watching a train wreck I just can't turn away).
