To me it shows no morals or ethics whatsoever.. to even think this is OK.. just gets me.Like you I built a substantial sub too portfolio over the years.. but I also had more than one called.. and we stroked 100 to 300k checks for them.. there was a group here in PDX I think they got this from rich dad or another guru that came through town they did about 30 of these long term sandwich deals. and one by one the buyers flaked.. sub prime borrowers no matter where they are what they are .. are a big default risk.by the time they got to me  14 of the 30 were not paying.. and of course in our area mortgages are in the 1000 and above range.. and they are making their 200 a month delta.. but when you have 14,000 a month negative.. hostile owners of homes that know it takes a year to boot them.. and the folks you bought the house from are screaming.. ( many of these folks the credit was fine )  it was a cluster of epic proportions.. calls to AG to DA  come to Salem for a hearing..

What surprised me was that the man is in the real estate business and should know about the importance of notification of long term unauthorized "visitors".

But the above posters are right this just screams of a "something is missing" scam. 

The re-muddled single families I've seen scream bad plumbing, bad electric, bad heating systems (usually one for the entire building) and generally high maintenance.

To me, the more important mark is getting 1000+ users on each day (I am not talking about visitors, but active members using the site each day).

Now screaming and cursing can sometimes relieve some anguish/tension but look at the bright side you still got a deal on some of the properties that are over $50k closing...

Now maybe these were screaming deals and its worth it...

While I typically ignore these lists (even the ones that we do make), it got me thinking that we only have slightly over 4,000 likes on Facebook right now...For a site with 110,000 members and close to 1/2 million visitors last month, I think we can do better!

It turned into a huge fiasco, but after a lot of screaming and wailing, they were finally gone.In hind site, I would have used a process server to deal with them, because I was drawn into too much of their drama.  

IE.. buy a house, rent it out, sit back and collect rent.I have been doing it long time also, have 17 doors that I self manage and work a full time day job and there are days when I curse and yell and scream but all in all I have no regrets and just wish I went for bigger properties.Nobody said making money was ever easy!!
