We are contemplating on finding an agent or selling ourself as we speak..

Especially if you're contemplating taking on a large debt level for a car wash, real estate, etc.  

We are contemplating building spec houses for resale, rental houses, or a trailer park.

I am holding onto it until a developer contacts me, but I have been contemplating if I should build a house and sale it.

I've contemplated similar moves and feel it's worth thinking long and hard about that kind of trade.

This is separate from any recovery for violation of the property code, finance code, criminal code...Anyone contemplating this course of action should talk to an attorney licensed in your state first. 

When you first acquire a property, you should get to know your inherited tenants before you contemplate upgrading their units ... you definitely figure out if you want to keep them before  you upgrade anything in their unit.    

Something that started with this a couple of years ago (my house on the right)Has turned into the removal of the fence separating the two properties (by the owner of the truck) which leaves me losing the foot of space between the privacy fence and the boundary fence.Mitigating circumstances - the guy that owns the truck has a history of violent crime (kidnapping, sexual assault on a child, assaulting a police officer, etc., etc.) and my interactions with him have resulted in schizophrenic ramblings (i.e. the Vatican owns my property, all financial transactions are routed through the city of London, etc.)I spoke with an attorney from this forum (a terrific help) earlier this week and I am weighing my options...the best being a 4 foot retaining wall along the property line with a 6 foot permitted fence to the front of the house. 

I know that our sales contract contemplates the security deposits being transferred at closing, which would have been a better time to bring up that the seller did not collect them.

I've been contemplating POL, as it seems like such an easy way to invest, but so glad I've read comments above.
