I do not live in the duplex, so I've been told I would get a bit of a higher rate than a normal HELOC.The third property is a triplex I plan to 1031 exchange as it is in an area that is hours away and undesirable to me.

Talon,Only two ways to find sellers: Pound the payment or market to them.

Would focus on the following:Zoning, special/conditional use variance process, planned zoning, Engineering- building, traffic, soil compaction, water flow, Permitting, fire suppression, fire hydrants, storm pounds, storm sewers, ADA,     Governmental- soil erosion, floodplain, wetlands,Leasing, NNN, CAM,     Valuation approaches.  

It is often unsettling to spend that kind of money for a room that is obviously very 1965 on the inside with paint slapped on it and some vinyl flooring, and the furniture looks like an episode of Saved By the BellWhat's even more annoying is how they have their staff come pounding on the door at 9am when check out ain't for 2 hrs and you're trying to get that last hr of sleep in.  

We live in an area where there are black widows and other undesirable spiders, so we have a pest service come every single time someone moves out; however, if a unit is empty for a time, black widows move back in and must be exterminated before a tenant moves in, so we do an inspection of every unit before someone moves in to make sure it's ready to go.

The individuals from these firms that speak to the tenants do not threaten, however their size (6'5" or more) and weight (300 pounds plus), facial scars, tatoos and overall persona convince all but the extremely stupid that leaving is a good idea.

Would it be mostly undesirable properties in South of Chicago delinquent for 2-3 years?  

Just under 4 bucks a pound.

Do trash companies charge by the pound?

I got my roofer scheduled for this Friday and Saturday, but the area was pounded, so it makes sense.
