You gotta know when to hold em, know when to fold em, and know when to walk away!!!!!!!!!

The traffic on my easement has literally increased 50 fold.

So I can get that two-fold effect.

(And never was I one to brag about my success).For those that asked, I gave my time, energy, passion to assist them with building a plan to strategically get them from point A to point B.Most would listen, start taking some action, run into a road block and fold up shop.Real estate investing can be hard.

After that, I wait and see what price level that house got sold.Over those years, the prices in Bay Area has jumped about 4 fold.

To the OP, we are also concerned about not perpetuating a system of inequity and our strategy is two-fold: We try not to take housing stock that would otherwise go to owner-residents (SFHs and Duplexes make us a little uncomfortable) AND when we buy, we make the numbers work with current tenants (versus buying with expectation we'll have to evict, turn, and lease to get market rates).

I already had no success in trying to reach the appraiser, which I am sure was intentional on the appraiser's part.Like Kenny Rogers says, "gotta know when to fold 'em!"

May all of the generosity you showed (and spurred) in your original posts come back to you ten fold.

BTW-anybody notice that the reason that was issued for Lehman folding now was bad COMMERCIAL real estate bets?

Is the $14,000 superior position judgement folded into the foreclosure (from a purchasers perspective).
