This is sort of a stumbling block but they are helping out with what they can.

I usually target properties in nice areas that are the ugly houses on the block.

Buy another 2 family down the block and repeat the process again and again.6.

In my research of county owned Tax Liens, I've found a couple that are for the common area of a sub-division (lake and park), and a townhouse community (street and parking lot).If I purchased the lien, and then ended up the the deed, could I say block access for the residents if they didn't pay me for my time, expense and some profit?

These folks don't really understand the landscape and get taken with comps from a few blocks over but might as well be a world away to local homebuyers.

It's so disheartening living in a state that has every conceivable industry, tens of thousands of acres of farmland that is blocked from use, and if it were a country could be one of the most wealthy in the world, yet the mismanagement by our state government for decades has cities rushing to file for bankruptcy.

In 2006 I bought a fire damaged house on my block and built a new house for my wife and future children.

One person suggested putting a french drain in the middle of a gravel parking lot!

The basic reason to pour those down the drain is to keep them from smelling, and to help keep them clean.

Usually I use the term stumbling blocks in the middle to refer to these individuals.
