@Eric Zunkley And over the last 25 years inflation has averaged 2.2%, gold has averaged 5%, oil has averaged 6.5%, Bonds have averaged 7%, Stocks have averaged 9.6% and real estate has averaged 9.8%.Sure there are individual properties and stocks that belie the averages.

id be lying if I said I don’t have the crap scared out of me every time I do a deal .

You do not have to take a verbal notice.Tenant could be lying to stay longer for free.Also, how did you let the tenant get $1800 behind with utilities?

This is important to know but can be lied about very easily.

My concern is they may just be lying and not move out so I am thinking about issuing a Notice to Quit for Non-Payment but I wanted to get opinions.Thanks!

And yes I have done quite a few deals from bandit sign leads, but I would be lying if I told you how many. 

Reliance on MIAs is a daily occurrence, which I think belies your argument that identifying defects is rare.I would appreciate it if you can tell me how you can tell by reading a deed if it's a forgery or if the grantor was incompetent at the time of signing?

I would be lying if I said I regret the workshop.Pros: learned a great deal.

I saw the updated photos on Mid South's website, and I agree it looks much improved from the listing photos, while not being over-rehabbed for its area.On an unrelated note, I'd be lying if I said that the prospect of BBQ ribs in Memphis played no part in my interest in this deal. 

Probably largely because quite a bit of the economic activity in the Cleveland area is situated outside of the city proper, in the dozens of suburbs around it, it belies the stereotype that Cleveland is a dying old city without much of financial engine left in it.
