-Sticker on microwave popcorn "We just popped in".

Hi Elliot, I've encountered this many times with properties that are listed considerably below market.

Hi Todd, I think we found a good site to learn from, but I agree the people that run this site have obviously encountered some issues.

While right next door there is a vacant house with an orange sticker in the window and the glass broken out of one of the doors due to the bank Winterizer needing to get into the house.

...there was one shot when the "flipper" drove in the driveway to "keep on top of" the workers - and on the passenger side door of his SUV was a magnetic sticker that read "wwwhabitationrealtycom".

What have you done or encountered with this?

Also, if there was old carpet there that you needed to rip up first, are there any of the leveling problems with what's underneath the carpet, that you might encounter with trying to put in ceramic tile?

Cheap things to do are: Put a "sticker" in the windows that the home is monitored (make them yourself - copy whatever is common in your area).

It's constructive eviction Tony Soprano style.Incidently, the guy who owns the sleeping rooms in my town, also owns the worst, most hardcore hilljack, redneck, biker bar.It's not something we encounter in our day-to-day existence as REIs, but it is a segment of the business that does exist.

I'd like to put a worst case $10k sticker on this and proceed.
