Hate to sound so cold about exploiting such losses but one mans trash is definitely another man's treasure. 

The more rules there are to the game, the more inefficiencies you can exploit in the marketplace. 

(the store eventually shut down--leaving a vacant building for years)The moral of the story--good locks work--but weak points will be exploited if they are present.Just my 2 cents.

My market isn't yours some of my stuff won't work for you but your market has its inefficiencies that you need to discover and exploit.

I just find the entire system to be inherently exploitative and immoral.

Isn't the whole point to not exploit the borrower?

It's my understanding that Sharia loans are that way because charging interest is forbidden as its exploitative, but if you are a knowledgeable and savvy investor, maybe its not exploitative? 

@Sandra Pinzon this grey area is probably one of the more exploited ones in Chicago.

As paranoid conservative I then see this being exploited to the detriment of everyone except the exploiter.  

With loan constants in the 5s even with ridiculously low financing rates it is still hard to get positive cash flow from SFR rental property absent beefy down payments.There are 3 other valuable profits centers from real estate to exploit without looking just at cash flow.
