Its a fact that landlords got killed because of leverage in the melt down ,, In addition you have a whole new crop of investors that basically started 8 to 10 years ago at all time low's in values and have only been working on the rebound..

It also is becoming a melting pot for young professionals.

If you drink a diet soda after the pigout it's all one calorie, really!

You will be surprised how calories add up.

One I did not own got caught in the 08 melt down and sold for about 50 cents on the dollar or less as they never got it up in running in time. 

The rest of it looks like the house is literally melting, and then it has weird metal panels on the 1st floor?   

Maybe my brain's just melted from a long week, so I'd greatly appreciate the assist!

There isn't some bidder related or not and no, its not so "ABC" doesn't show a loss (Whatever that is supposed to mean).Ron, i think there is some confusion with regard to Oregon related to Sheriffs sales and trustee's sales which Oregon uses both.. prior to the melt down 99% of all foreclosures in Oregon were Trustee's sales and yes you got a trustee's deed  post sale and bank could have a step bid but they generally did not send anyone to the sale they just wrote a memo to the foreclosure service and the cryer would bid it up.Sheriffs sales do have a redemption and there are those that run around buying redemption rights.. 

Can anyone recommend a product that melts ice/snow without damaging concrete? 

many who said they cant wait for a decline will find unless they are PREMIER borrowers or have a lot of CASH are not going to be able to participate.unlike the GFC  Mortgage industry instantly came up with programs for owner occupied properties.. so we will not see a big melt down there like we did in the GFC.
