We are actually working with couple investors on this strategy now as it's becoming more and more popular due to the elevated level of returns. 

I bought a 6 commercial unit, and the owner and agent said, "everything" is grandfathered in.....elevator, sprinkler system etc.BUT what he didn't realize, was the township knows that he is a SLUMLORD in a grade A area.  

We'll get some photos posted up tomorrow, and if anyone managed to get a recording of my little speech, please let me know.

The problem is that there is a flood zone along this creek and it only impacts 5 or 6 houses, so none of my comps are in the zone.Of course, I would get an elevation survey to see if the structure was actually in the zone, but I am pretty certain it is.

When a judge hears me saying what I said, he is fully aware of what is going on, he believes that what I am saying is what I said because he can tell it in the manner of my speech.

Is that a figure of speech or an actual real estate term?

Etc...I'd like to hear/see more thoughts on Minnesota/Minneapolis in general.What are some neighborhoods that you think will elevate in price and continue to elevate?

Only thing pending right now is that I have the deal contingent on a Land Elevation Certification.  

as it relates to BP  in the beginning just believing that being a  BP member elevated someone to higher moral and ethical grounds. and finding out that its just like the rest of the world gots to be very careful about who is on these types of websites.. lost money with BP members who talked a big game  LOL. 

Not sure how that can be, having view a general front elevation photo - not specific).
