I think it will be difficult with the current next door tenants, who yell all day, play music loud with windows open, smoke weed on their porch, and often go outside to shout rap songs (badly).

I mean an instrument you file in the county records to show there is a lien on the property.

Tim been instrumental in letting me know:~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~Who legitimate or not lenders coming out of CaliforniaI believe he would be worth a telephone call and face to face meeting.

What do the "Instrument" codes GR, WD, QC, BS (etc. etc.) mean?

Listen to podcasts instead of the same music you've heard over and over.  

Or, have a good working relationship with a hard money lender... as banks will be useless.Tilt yourself toward cash flowing properties - it is the flippers who were really caught with no chair when the music stoppedMake certain your financial situation would not require you to sell a property at a loss (time is on your side - my shelf life is shorter than yours) Consider avoiding purchasing a condominium or home in a planned urban development due to overreaching homeowners associations who can AND WILL alter bylaws (after you purchase) preventing you from renting an owned property. 

Thoughts are: yes it has its place, but like any financial instrument should be used by those who fully understand all of the potential impacts well.

Terrible music (imo), but solid line. 

You can play obnoxious music at ear splitting decibels until the cops come to tell you to turn it down.
