I considered legal action but my attorney indicated that it wasn't worth the fight.

I would re-do my contract with the property manager & indicate that they will have to pay at least fifty percent--or some monetary amount- for things like what you have described- that are real damage and cost to repair---I find that money is only important to them if it is theirs--your money is never dealt with the same way.

I do not have enough cash on hand to buy free and clear and I am very concerned about the finance world.Plus, as you indicate, the 'deals' just are not quite right.

That would be a good indication of how long with will last when compared to how many foreclosures we have already been through.

As Wheatie indicated, the best deal you will likely find is 80% of contract price OR appraisal value, whichever is LOWER.

If you stay put and can afford the payments (no indication that you can't), there's no credit hit or other negative to worry about.

If they didn't, and your agreement indicates they should have, you at least have cause for complaint.It all comes down to the agreement with the PM.Have you put up a yard sign?

Honestly, is this just a personal observation or is this from a report/market indicator?

Figure out if there are lots of vacancies for such condos, with indicates rents may fall or owners may give incentives to get them filled.

Do you think this is an indication of what a lot of people are thinking across the nation?
