@Melissa VeazieHey there I keep getting recommended to you by different people you must have the good deals in Jacksonville..Looking for home with 3 bedrooms & 1+ bathrooms 1100 - 1400 sqft In a C or better neighborhood Under 70k Deteriorated property preferredIs this something that’s possible in the Jacksonville market??

Data comes from MRED LLC, St Louis Fed, MortgageNewsDaily.com, and NAR.Housing Affordability- The current market shift is primarily a result of deteriorating housing affordability: Homes have become so expensive that many people either can’t or won't buy.

But, I do like the flapper-less provision.Bruce If you have old, deteriorating cast-iron or galvanized waste lines, the inner surface will be far from smooth - pitted in places, with mounds of rust build-up in others, etc.  

This way your no longer a part of the problems, deterioration, and suicide of your societies and you become a part of the solutions.

It's not the worst case scenario because the property is cash flowing, but I'm worred that the area is going to deteriorate further in the next few years and it's only going to become harder and harder to keep rented.Remember that location is the one thing on a property you cannot fix...once you choose you're locked in!

That is where the government assumes that over time the property deteriorate and become less valuable.  

It could be old news, but figured I'd put it out there.http://www.state.nj.us/dca/divisions/dhcr/rfp/pdf/...It's for stabilization of deteriorating neighborhoods due to superstorm sandy.The part that stopped me was this line: "The program initially will provide zero interest, 100% forgivable loans to Community Housing Development Organizations (CHDOs) and Community Development Financial Institutions (CDFIs).

Our company is encountering a few great homes in the Orlando, FL area that aren't selling because they have issues with deteriorating lead paint.  

Let's see, if I estimated the friction factor of the lines , have a given pressure at the supply and a needed pressure (known) at the outlets, I suppose I could calculate how many more years are left in the galvanized lines based on a deterioration rate of inside diameter of about 1/4 inch over 60 years......Seriously, if I get another 3 or 4 years out of the plumbing, I will be happy with that.

In the end it's not about protecting tenants: it's thinly disguised vote buying that leads ultimately to deterioration of the housing market.
