:)HOA/PM can be a pain in the neck, esp. for run-down property.   

Just curious, is there much activity around the site from folks in this neck of the woods?

I know in your area of Portland its getting super hot down there as well, and deals are still solid margins, main reason I started buying down there too, and another reason im focusing more down in your neck of the woods.

My target is big burly scary looking guys with neck tats that drive jacked up trucks.

I'm still ready to buy if the right deal comes along, but I'm not going to stretch my neck out for anything right now.

In fact here in my neck of the woods I've seen some lenders spending  good money to make them nice. 

All about having minimum criteria and sticking to it, don't jump because you're anxious, be confident in the deal.Now in my neck of the woods $25k in projected profits is a solid deal, $12,500 not so much.

I'm sure there is a bank somewhere in your neck of the woods that can get you on your way.

I just moved to a million dollar home (I know in your neck of the woods that's no big deal but here in Cincinnati, Ohio...it is a big deal) - and an agent brought it to my attention.

City of Euclid building department is a pain in the neck.
