i don't want to get too political, but unfortunately, business is politics...my biggest complaint owning apartments was how the government would support tenants til death and shun the landlords...have had several code violations properties, where i fix everything, but tenants do the damage again, and we go back to environmental court with the code inspector..even when i have pics and proof, it's still an expensive pain lawyering up when the government provides free attorneys to tenants..i guess i don't have it as bad as others...in some states it takes months to evict, and in others if the tenants don't pay the city water bill, the government can lien your property...all this does is put more pressure on landlords and take responsibilty off of tenants..to me, that is a huge pain!

Our weak dollars are benefiting others.We have asked for this by voting for crooked poiliticians, having crazy environmental laws, having way too many lawyers to sue everyone, and catering to the union thugs that make outrageous demands.

This can include a $5k processing fee and the rest set aside for required third party expenses (appraisal, environmental, and property condition report) and legal fees.  

I own an environmental consulting, and we often help people with mold.

The county used a general footprint to calculate the house square footage.

Please respond with both the "what" and "how"---example...What: Canvassing foreclosuresHow: Weekly NOD Search at the CourthouseFeel free to go into depth on strategies, techniques and how-to's if you care to...Let's have fun with this and share ideas and leave a footprint for others to see and learn from in the future.

The environmental issues alone will swamp their economy within the next five to ten years.

I have rehabbed several homes over the past 5 years while working in environmental engineering.I have gained considerable knowledge on REI and would now like to move from part time to a fulltime basis.

In my area most of the parks are in the rural setting or country where the Environmental people have come in and forced park owners to have septic plants that cost anywhere from 100-400 thousand dollars.

The problem came in when I discovered that the square footage did not meet the current minimum required by the city and I would have had to expand the footprint by 240 square feet.
