;) But it's true...don't put the cart before the horse.

If the slab work is the issue, there's other solutions like pumps from Saniflo.com, the shower stall just has to be raised a few inches.

They are like the horse and buggy; when the sports car is invented they will be crushed.

So if the difference between current and market rent is truly $500, we would raise rent $250.You don't want to stall out on making progress toward market rent, but we like to keep good tenants a bit below market rent both as a reward and as an incentive to stay since they won't find comparable units if they shop around.

I personally don't think that anyone has any business wholesaling to house flippers, unless they have learned how to profitably flip houses themselves.Not trying to be offensive by any means, but I think most house flippers can agree that most wholesalers put the horse before the carriage. 

However, what's to keep the defendant who lost in Small Claims Court, that screwed over John Smith / landlord for past due rent and trashed his property, from saying that $4,000 Judgment was simply a pissed off uncle over the sale of horse, etc.?

We have one option of an off market with value.... but could fall through as owner is stalling.

So, you know - no offense or anything - but I would suggest getting off your high horse and heading back to paradise where your judgments might mean something, bro.

I know I can rent pasture for a horse if I have adequate acreage, and I certainly don't have to tell city hall.    

Where in Southern California would you look for buildable land that was suitable for horses, yet reasonably priced and in a somewhat livable area?
