Most of the duplexes in our market also tend to be in rental developments which are pretty undesirable for resale and leasing   

If lien holder on the abandoned property fail to enforce their liens within the 6 year statute of limitations, and if the absent owner does not show up within the 7 year period of adverse possession, my company could either simply continue to quietly collect rent without taking ownership or could quiet the title and sell the property.Eventual acquisition of clear title and sale of the property should not be necessary to make this plan succeed.My idea is that sufficient income would be achieved through managing the various abandoned properties for rents and resources.My company would be serving the community by providing needed low cost housing alternatives –often the opportunity to place or rent an RV on the vacant lots, we’d also provide rentals that tenants can pay for by using their own labor to improve the existing housing.Jobs would be created.And, I believe, the general community will be served by our company maintaining and improving a number of properties which would otherwise become waste.Governmental interaction would be avoided by indefinitely collecting rents on property abandoned by others or at least by not owning the properties until the very end.I would keep the visible business footprint as small as possible.Doubtless this plan involves more work than simpler forms of real estate investing.And working abandoned real estate will require creativity to improve and/or capitalize these properties which are considered undesirable even to their owners.I am attracted to working with abandoned real estate because it provides tremendous privacy.My company can control and collect rent on multiple properties where there is no public record of our interest.

do you need to vet the buyer, get financing knocked out prior to acceptance. an ouch of prevention is worth a pound of curetechnology is something you can control. if you change your perspective of I can't do tech to I want to learn, maybe it may make difference. decide if you want to learn it or give it to a third party. this is something that is within your power to change. also see how important is this in your list of problems. spiritual faith is also under your control. take a breather and do what you need to reconnect. its very important to take a break and breathe hope this helps, we all have been here before

The RV's having actual unloaded weights of less than 13,000 pounds are 3-year property as defined by section 168(c)(2)(A) of the Code, and the RV's having actual unloaded weights of 13,000 pounds or more are 5-year property as defined by section 168(c)(2)(B). 

Now in my lease, I do include a $250 non refundable pet fee and give preference to tenants with no pets but will allow a small dog <25 pounds.

Additionally you might need to "pound the pavement" locally and hand out fliers to talk with business owners and managers if they would want to move to your location etc.  

I have a $200 pet fee and $25/month of pet rent if the dog is 25-50 pounds.

Intangibles are whether it makes the property easier to rent, especially if it is near undesirable areas (highways, factories, other junky houses, etc). 

I'm not kidding, she has suitcases full of gold and silver as well as sterling silverware, I have moved them an I know there is over a hundred pounds in one case.

When they drop 200 pounds and become Mormon.
