T Yes we have purchased through auctions and as a lender we take properties to auction on occasion.

Same as @John Underwood @Madheshwaran R..Usually it is to check if they are interested in bookings that I couldn't meet due to either no availability or the rare occasion when and AirBNB and VRBO booking for the same dates at the same time.

On the rare occasion that we get an urgent call from someone we haven’t gotten to know yet, we politely decline the loan.If you are dealing with borrowers who have been doing this since the crash, then almost certainly, they will have a bankruptcy around 2010 or so.

I had another coworker on another occasion found someone strolling in her backyard coming home from work and it was also an inspector from Nassau County.

On occasion these letters have resulted in the parties entering a more formal easement agreement.

My brother has indicated on multiple occasions an interest in us buying rental properties together - he would be financial equity, I would be sweat equity.

They allowed the tenants to breach their contract on multiple occasions.

There is one I attend on occasion in the Valley.One option is house hacking here in LA.

I used to leave a bottle of decent champagne when a guest mentioned they were visiting for a special occasion like an anniversary or something.

Be careful how you size your investments and adjust for your level of risk and ability to withstand to loose on occasion...Good luck to all...Cheers!
