@Gerhard Maree   well unfortunately this is how these deals and people move on.. your going to just lick your wounds and call it a day.. too bad the owners are not stepping up.I suspect though there are others that have gotten council and are making demand letters.if you paid for rehab and it was not done  seems like that would be a pretty easy claim to make and Morris from all accounts has made millions on this stuff .. seems to me he should be making some of this right for you folks just like he is for the guy that started this thread.. although we have not heard back from him if anything at all has happened..

Sch L and Sch M are a pain to do at tax time. 

Additionally managing that number of homes with a tenant base that is likely below average quality will be a night mare.

Mary M., are you only wanting to look at Mexico opportunities or are you looking outside of it at all, like in the Central American countries?

I lived at Silverado for the decade of the 90s and loved it.. but boy when I go back to visit my mom who still lives there unless I want to come in through lake Berryessa the back way traffic is a night mare and forget about taking 37 to Marin county ouch.. so that was a place in time I get to cherish Napa before it became grid lock.. :)

Mare online auction run any different?
