Shook down a fast food restaurant over permits for remodeling for chrissakes.

A lot of the housing stock here, even in the neighborhoods that you mentioned is at best 60-70 years old and worst 90-110 - there are going to be warts with alot of properties and those without, you are going to pay a premium for.That being said the areas you mentioned are certainly more stable and reliable than the New Kensington, New Castle, Beaver, Mount Oliver, (insert Eastern neighborhood here) where you can find houses for under $20,000But as @Andy Madden mentioned, anything is possible with the right networking and finding value-adds offmarket.good luck!

its a super friendly place .. you would love it.cant believe you have not taken the tribe there.. just drive right up 97  through Omak and Oroville  cross border then slow down. they drive maddeningly slow in BC and you will get there probably  5 to 6 hours.. great scenery.. 

Would you be mad if your neighbors construction project shook your house and broke your belongings?

There are charities out there to help people down on their luck and you're not one of them and if you pretend to be, you'll be down on your luck yourself and you can bet your ***, the bank isn't going to care about your sob story.Not Signing A LeaseMaybe they're a family friend, a family member, or you looked the guy in the eye, shook his hand, and you just knew he could be trusted at his word.

I finally went to "no dog" policy because, well, the poo in the yard was always the OTHER dogs' poo, y'know... maddening.

When he was leaving that day, I shook his hand saying good bye.
