As this number continues to get smaller it in turn makes the number of available listings (our supply) fewer and fewer.Thirdly, the number of homes in escrow, in pending or contingent status, in relation to the available listings has grown each month for at least the past 8 months.What I conclude from this is that the market is absorbing the inventory faster than the new listings are becoming available.

Any slight negative market condition reducing income could place you in danger of default.

I'd check with the town code officer, I think the home inspector knows just enough to be dangerous...

While our foreclosure and shadow inventory isn't through the roof, there are fewer investors, so the properties go for less.

Distance is dangerous.

You may find that there are much fewer of those but they will be that much more rewarding.

That's dangerous territory Jeff.

In addition to the disclosure, there could be actual lead paint which could indeed be dangerous if there is remodeling going on and paint dust is in the air.If I rule out pre-1978 properties I lose a huge pool of potentials.

Most issues can be brought into complaince if it's not a totally a dangerous building.If you do decide to walk I strongly advise you not to keep rents and not pay the mortgage.

We'd have grandfathered setbacks and fewer inspections if we rehab.
