@Daniel Bennett Sub $50K for a duplex or tri is definitely a bit difficult even in Baltimore unless it's a place that needs tons of work in a probably bad block... but for not much more, you can definitely find a duplex.

Hi Kevin,Telling them to call their accountant puts additional burdens (road blocks) on them.

We suggest that you not only turn off the water source but drain the system as well.

Any added expense from her blocking you will be deducted from their security deposit.

Believe me, I tried several mortgage companies and hit the same road block every time.

Each unit should have shut off valves for the various faucets, otherwise you have to shut off the whole house to fix a faucet.You still have to drain the water from the pipes.

I tried to log in the other day at work and it says the owner of the website has blocked my IP address.

You could drain the lines and fix the broken pipes.

Our crime problem is nothing compared to what goes on blocks from the White House or in Chicago...

For this deal, first time I see the HUD-1 is at the closing table - I wasn't happy about it - perhaps I should have delayed closing to review, but closing was on a Friday during the holidays, and I had the weekend blocked off with no distractions to get started working on the property, and well... here we are...
