I started my profile with only my last initial (paranoid I guess) but have found this to be a well moderated and civil forum.

Quad City CleanersThey are a one stop shop for turning units and light to moderate renovations (painting, cleaning, carpets, light rehab, moving, duct cleaning, power washing etc.).

MODERATOR NOTE:   Any requests to be added to a buyers list or any other type of deal making will be removed.

Maybe shift from thinking in terms of Recession or Depression but the new norm of a Government influenced and moderated economy.

Anyway, I'm a moderate Democrat and I can't stand him, but I can't blame him for this. 

The tenancy boards have a high expectation of landlords and property managers to know and follow the rules.In the future when you buy a property, if you are suspect of the current tenant situation, you can ask for vacant possession, so on closing date the property is empty, or make a deal that a particular unit is vacant.The current landlord could have paid the current tenant some cash to leave before you took over the building.Good luck, and the great news is that once this small hurdle is overcome, you will be able to place a well screened brand new tenant.Michael P Currie[Moderator's Note:  Removed self-promotion URL from post]

At least the moderate appreciation of some areas, helps to mitigate that problem somewhat.

Guess anyone can be a moderator nowadays. 

I told you that property taxes can be reassessed every 2 years and that in the 8 years that I have operated in the market, they have increased only moderately.
