Inevitably when you manage so many units, you're bound to get a bad apple here or there, but I've had no major issues that I think sets San Bernardino apart from any other surrounding city.

Just remember they say to get at least 3 competing quotes whenever possible (more can be better if you can find them), and make sure you are comparing apples to apples with each quote.

That’s like apples and bowling balls.

Per annum math only so we can all compare apples to apples.

Unfortunately, some bad apples have played the 'strategic default' hand and it has made everyone super cautious on a C/O refi. 

Mark,  I suggest you seek some assistance from your Solo 401(k) plan provider or an attorney to provide a letter of instruction.If your 401(K) at Fidelity owns Apple, that is not considered a personal  asset or liability.  

Looking at it on an apples to apples basis with alternative options, you'll want to consider points, fees (loan app, appraisals, draws), skin-in-the-game requirements, whether it's a dutch loan or not, if there are extension options, when interest payments are made, the risks involved in the deal...so, for example, would you rather pay 20% interest on 6 months at the end of a deal with no fees....or make monthly payments, put say 20% down, have some fees, and pay 10% to 12%?

You could go after them for a judgment but for most tenants that's not worth the paper it's printed on because they have no assets, often work under the table, and if they make too little money they are judgment proof anyway.There's also an argument to be made that you bought the property with the current condition of that unit priced into your offer, so there's no reason you should get a second bite at the apple and also go after the tenant for causing the unit to be in poor condition.

Also restaurants and hotels all each have their own arguments to wage but it's apples to oranges.

Zillow is good for the school lines.Washington County Maryland is unique in that they have magnet programs at a bunch of the schools that the kids can go and less overcrowding so other than a measuring stick for crime the parents have tons of options for their kids school wise.
