With a ouija board, a 2-head coin, or a pin-the-tail on the appraiser party.

I have yet to do any deals, but I'm about a year or so away from attempting to do my first (saving some coin for FHA 3.5% down payment and reserves.)

I think that bc you have a Management CO in place you do not qualify for the 25k in passive loss allowance.

A/C is going to cost some coin as I see a rad. heaters.

I just had a smoking hot little red head marathon runner in a very tight shirt try this on me when I mentioned to her that I was thinking of putting a coin op laundry in one of my commercial buildings.

Does anyone know anyone Escrow Co. in San Diego that allows this???

@Michael Haas   Well I did come upstairs from my vault full of gold coins that I stack and count over and over again to write the above post :)    I'm sure if SCC thinks we are the bad guys they will love the wall street hedge funds and other large out-of-area investors that buy all the seattle multifamily stock as local investors move their interests to the outer rim worlds, like renton, burien, and tatooine.

The 2nd grade sang us a song, another class read us something, the FFA read us their creed, the local Police Chief gave us a special coin for partnering with the community and then there was the gift baskets and 100's of Thank You cards from the different classes for the donation of the land.  

unless you have VERY deep pockets lets look at how this plays out.now I am going to write out devils advocate here and I am in no way saying this is you I am showing you the other side of the coin so you can look at it objectively. 1. you knocking on doors of someone in financial distress and unless you have been there or have dealt with a ton of owners facing foreclosure you don't really know how hard this is on people on lives on families on children.  2. your not saving their credit their credit is already trashed if there is a notice of sale. 

@Michael Le - it was Andrew Carnegie who coined that phrase.
