I wanted to show an interaction that with a FAUX lender..

I have a long term tenant (retail vintage store) and a 1 bedroom apartment attached at the rear of the building. 

The houses are mostly 1970-80 vintage.

Neither is pretty,The difference is that these bad guys on American greed are all running Ponzi schemes  investor money in.. goes to their account they never invest it and .. they buy them selves all the things that they must have,,, IE  big house,, airplanes, boats , cars,, jewelry for trophy wife  etc etc. and the investors get scammed.those buying rentals have an asset and if they can manage it propertly and buy right up front they stand a chance.. if they buy poorly and think someone is going to do all the work for them then they end up in your scenerio

As a landlord you should have a plan for this kind of thing A few months ago a woman walked out on her lease and left all her belongings Her money mongerie landlord threw all her stuff in the dumpster Vintage vanity $2000; Russian made side table $800; 2 Flat screen tvs $500 each; Desktop pc and network $1000; and a whole house more!

in the tiny zip lock baggy not sure what to do with it, the one i found tonite, as right now its lying on the floor sorta behind the dryer.as the one i saw months ago (fall out of the washer) i just assumed was jewelry baggy with detergent in it and left it behind without much thought since i'm not street smart at all, never been exposed to any of that (til now) =L

Conservative is one thing but guesstimating based on "faux" numbers will keep you from investing in good deals.  

It cost the same to rebuild per square foot, but in an OO they are also covering your personal property, furniture, jewelry etc.Shop around and see what type of deals you can get, you can also get better rates by going with a higher deductible, just make sure you can afford more out of pocket if you have to make a claim.

The contractor tells me that he also checked with one of the larger accounting firms in Denver and that it is correct in being treated like a stock, I disagree and told him, it does not matter if he is selling a box of nails, jewelry or shoes, it is simply a return on the investment the (investor) makes.

I usually put up 2" faux wood pvc blinds because they look better, last longer, and are more repairable than cheap mini blinds.
