hi karen. you are in a tough market. sure, here in new york, i am in buffalo by the way, you can assign a house. thats cool for quick flips. finding them is another challenge. if you are not getting results from the method you are using, change the method. i drive around looking for distressed properties. i have gotten so good at it, i could spot them a mile away. you would be amazed how motivated most of these people are to sell these places. here is a little secret i stumbled upon last year. the feds put a stop to so many foreclosures hitting the market and hurting the market a few years ago. so, they limited the banks amount of foreclosures that they could market. consequently, the banks chose only the higher dollar deals they had on their desks. who wouldn't?

I've decided to focus on mobile home investing (after stumbling upon John Fedro, Bill Neves, et al. here on BP).

Ned, I kind of stumble across this niche market of tax sale overages.

I appreciate the variety of opinions and am new to the whole social networking thing, so please forgive me if I have stumbled into the wrong place.

This tenant is stumbling in the wrong direction.

Everyone has a story and there are many ways we can give dignity to marginalized communities without that support being a stumbling block. 

@Bill Gulley now you have given consent and Johnny stumbles on a mole hole you should have known about and breaks his leg and sues you  LOL... this never ends. 

Anybody that is stumbling on this from a Google search.

I'm fairly new to BP the reason I know this website because I'd stumble upon BP Podcast on Youtube.

Especially, after stumbling upon this new story: https://www.wfmz.com/news/area/lehighvalley/man-charged-after-ditching-rental-leaving-gas-stove-burning-for/article_92cb5478-f120-11e9-a4a4-c3b06a8fbd74.htmlSubstitute “dog” with “son” and the situations are very similar.
