Frankly, that website has red flags to me, some good information, but I also look to the meat of the agendas, techniques and methods and the equity stripping is in far left field, filing false liens, with entities not at arm's length can be trouble, it is not a tool to employ, hit bankruptcy court and you won't be looking at just state laws or assumptions or local politics from the bench.

Step up to the plate and take a swing, it's better than sitting on the bench for your whole life.

In this particular deal though as is the case with so many hands in the pot - I couldn't get word across to the seller (through the web of realtors) that he needed to have a separate company do the testing before and after, otherwise how do we know the mold is actually remedied?

So I feel like I either have to $hit or get off the pot.

If the HOA is ran down with a bunch of vacancy you can expect to pay or eventually pay higher HOA fees from the lack of owners paying into the pot.  

Well, after seeing the house, I have an update...It's still in perfect condition and I have just acquired 2 beds, 2 couches, a fridge, washer/dryer, 2 desks, a kitchen table, pots and pans, etc.

The business is booming - not just the pot smoking but also the edibles, creams, salves and the list goes on.  

Even had a condo burn completely down because a tenant left a pot on the stove.

Some of these you could do now, some you might want to safe for when you have a larger budget, but here are a few ideas that my clients use:Signage: Bus SignageBus Bench / Stop SignageCar MagnetsBumper StickersBillboards / at Local Sporting Events Internet: MLS (Realtor.com)Lead Generator WebsitesFSBO WebsitesPrint MediaDoor HangersFlyers Around Town w/ Pull TabsBusiness CardsValue Pack CouponsCoupon SaverPizza Box AdsAD Placement in:Church BulletinsLocal Real Estate PublicationsLocal Business JournalsTV/Radio Commercials on TV StationsCommercials on Radio StationsCold Calls/Direct Mail Campaigns to Property Owners: In Pre-ForeclosureGetting a DivorceWho Live Out of StateWith Low End Rental PropertiesWith Vacant or Rundown PropertiesWith Building Code ViolationsWith Health Code ViolationsWith Fire Damaged PropertiesWith Delinquent TaxesWith Expired ListingsWith Single Family Rental ListingsIn ProbateEvicting TenantsNetworking with:Bankruptcy AttorneysProbate AttorneysReal Estate AttorneysInsurance AgentsOther Wholesalers Real Estate Investor AssociationsTax Lien OfficialsContractorsProperty Management CompaniesDevelopersREO Department of Local Banks MailmanCity OfficialsMoving CompaniesBuildersMarshallsBail BondsmenAgain, don't try to jump into everything right now but copy & paste this list somewhere.

Now if I was to talk to the 2nd and 3rd and they agree on settling for 1/2 of their position on the property it would look like thisDelinquent amount and 1st remains the same2nd $ 27,0003rd $ 12,500Total $ 217,500I could sweeten the pot and offer $ 100,000 to the owners for the keys bring my grand total to $ 317,500Comparable sales as of 2-4 months ago is low to high $ 600,000.
