I looked at several properties (notes) in Gary, but I always put the address into trulia.com and the crime map they show as you scroll down the page always made me nervous, so I don't look there anymore.

Hi John, I saw your post while I was scrolling trying to find other local investors.

It looks like of the 250+ messages I have in my inbox I can only scroll down through 2 screen's worth (about 50 messages) and then no older one's load. 

I'm sure there are plenty of questions on BP that people would consider "stupid", but if a person cant provide a respectful response to the question I would just assume they keep scrolling. 

It takes a lot of zooming in/out and scrolling, but I like to get my thoughts down before I forget.  

Scroll down to where you could change pages on the far right you’ll see the word  go to the upper right hand side and click the word that’s underlined “list“ he will then be presented a list of all the for sale properties of homes in your area.

I actually saw your property while scrolling on the MLS today.

Scroll down to the article about security deposits.https://www.irs.gov/taxtopics/tc414Essentially if you deduct the cost of the repairs that were paid out of a security deposit then you should claim it as income however if you don’t deduct (like you mentioned that you weren’t planning on doing than you shouldn’t count it as income).

I just scroll down and click and read all threads that interest me
