In big cities just a high  school boundary line can be huge.Once you narrow it down you wont be looking at 100 houses because the pickings are slim.

He told me that the odds of getting any kind of respiratory problem from mold are so slim.

Unfortunately there is a very slim, and I mean slim, chance that you are going to be able to approach a carrier (AT&T, Sprint, T-Mobile, Verizon, Etc.) or a tower company (ATC, Crown, Etc.), detail your property location, and get them interested in leasing the property for a tower. 

Probably slim to none, but if no one knows where the signs came from, there's no chance of it coming back to haunt you later.

The chances of an investor letting it go for <60-65% ARV are slim to none.

The chances are pretty slim but you never know.Even if your partner leaves you still have to make the payments or leave too which will mess up your credit.

My options were slim as some banks didn't want to do the deal because of sellers tax returns on the property and vacancy.
