I'd say 99 times out of 100 we never hear back (which begs the question of why are they bothering to reach out if they don't follow up with the yes replies).If I were you, don't seek them out. 

Definitely don’t bother with Dickinson/ Williston and rural.  

@Mark Forest if you knew your data, then you'd also know that Detroit is using the US Census Bureau over several of its antiquated & mistakenly applied practices that have not properly recognized Detroit's growth over the last 5-6 years.Not even going to bother copying an article link here for your benefit as your head is buried too deep in the sand for any logical info to reach you.I'm sure you're successful wherever you're investing.

Seriously, if the concept of mortgage payments is going to bother you, REI is probably not where you should be headed.

Would that bother you?  

I would happily give limited and restricted access to renters and not bother. 

I've met investors in D class who buy the property and don't bother to fix stuff, soon enough the property and the quality of tenants deteriorate. 

Either way, from this point forward provide the best experience possible to your guests so that you can bury the bad reviews with more good ones- most guests won't bother to search back that far. 

Now the last tree I had removed was 5 years ago and the arborist took it to a friends house that has a mill where he was planning on milling the tree into oak flooring for a house he was building.My question is should I bother trying to get some value out of this tree one way or another?

They do have zero complaints on the Better Business Bureau.The only thing that bothers me- which I suppose it’s minor- is this: I emailed Ray a link from his own website of the property I went and saw and am interested in, and he emailed me back the exact same link, saying that all the info regarding that property is on there.
