Is this black mold?

For example, you buy the place and the tenant could claim the Seller allowed them to paint the walls black or that their security deposit was twice what the Seller claimed.

The house is potentially incredible, but roof leaking and black mold and the place is trashed.

But of course, there can always be a black swan event.Home prices are affected by human decision making (individuals, Federal Government policy, Federal Reserve policy, local economy, etc, etc, etc...), which is not necessarily very predictable or logical, so I would take macro price trends with a grain of salt.

It will tag me and the text will be blue not black like the rest of the regular text.

The lease has it spelled out in black and white.

Otherwise, there are so many ways to slice the real estate pie that it's just too easy to get distracted by next thing (short sales, lease options, pre-foreclosure, etc.)As far as connecting with other investors, you can do so here on BP of course, and you can also check out local groups such as Black Diamond REI in Massachusetts or RIREIG in Rhode Island.Also check out the BP Ultimate Beginners Guide especially the sections on networking, finding mentors, etc.

There are also a LOT of small complaints, such as “there is a small black mark on the white deck fence” and I have no idea how it will or can  be dealt with.

Having a PMP and Lean Six Sigma Black Belt certification have helped me create a process-oriented approach to executing strategy and analyzing data to prioritize initiatives as well as course correct well before issues become catastrophic.
