You would have to level the dilapidated structures, hire about four times the amount of cops that are currently there, have low taxes (or none at all) to lure businesses and residents, lock up every criminal that's running loose, and privatize all of the schools so there will be ones that people would actually want to send their kids to.There's no way I would ever live there in it's current state.

Please forgive me and school me if I am out of bounds.

Do we want to talk about a loose agenda?

It's a form that makes sure you and the tenant are both fully aware of the lease agreements that have been made and you are both bound to.If the tenant is ok with signing a new lease instead, make sure they understand (and I would have them initial a short statement also) that the previous lease is cancelled.

If it goes south again then you could loose all that equity, so why should you include it in your calculations.

I tend to loose out on some great deals but when I decide to go in I feel I'm well informed.

As you have already seen all the great forum posts and blog articles, I find new information here just about everyday.Don't forget to check out the PODcast it is full of great interviews and information that is bound to get you super motivated and make your brain work in overtime!!!

It still hasn't been approved and I'm getting to the point where I HAVE to rent the place out or Im loosing money.

Even if its too high there is a sucker born every minute so if people keep coming someone's bound to rent it.

Like they can also gain, not just loose.
