Apparently, to get started you’ll need lots of paper bags.

I'm seeking to buy Multi families that we can preposition and have added value opportunities.Both areas have mixed bag of school rating, while 32211 have much less crime. 

Those pensions are being left holding the bag as bonds are bid up and yields drop.

Their projections were way off and they are no left holding the bag.

I also don't want to be left holding the bag, at the end of the day, if there is an issue or incident.

I agree it's a mixed bag on pricing and of course varies from yard to yard, store to store, item to item.

Even if the borrower pays off the loan after a few years (refi or sells) then you have a good chance of needing to come up with cash to be able to pay off the underlying loan.I see this strategy as a huge opportunity for scammers to leave their buyer's holding the bag on a property they think they now own but that's in fact still mortgaged.

Evicting someone that old so your daughter can live rent free is a sh$t bag move, and a decision based on the wrong emotion. 

you may want to consider investing then with some of the known top shelf syndicators if you want cash flow real estate. trying to buy low to mid range rentals probably not your bag.. it will be what it is.. inconsistent and for someone like you that is pretty detailed probably not an appropriate investment vehicle there is no real upside.

You're right, it can be a crapshoot in terms of gaining valuable information, but it's just another tool in a note investor's bag.
