In addition, foreclosure starts continued to fall in December, though foreclosure completions ticked upward.It’s difficult to predict the direction of a market that’s being manipulated under the watch of a blind eye of the government.

My new tenants ( younger ) were happy with clean carpet / curtains and drapery rods ( instead of verticals/mini blinds ) and decent paint.I still need to put a new wall heater in a few months ( another post talking about this ).So, I was able to avoid some remodeling costs this time around.I think is is partially due to providing a "reasonable" rent for the area and the lack of 3br 1bath small houses (so there was less competition) as opposed to apartment living.Thanks to all,, Rich C :)

Please be prepared to spend a little (padding, insulation, etc) to keep any good downstairs tenants from fighting with upstairs tenants over squeaks and overhead noise.Don't let foot fall noise blind side you.

Although this is not technically legal, the police know the whole city does this and they turn a blind eye to it.I never cared that my tenant did this, since she has been doing it for years and always pays the rent on time.She recently alerted me of a problem.

i guess i'm one of the blind sheep that follows the pack...i agree permits are a pain and a ridiculous fee that the government mandates...however, they do serve a purpose...i didn't see if you specified who ran the sewer line..my understanding was the seller himself did it...that's a different story than having a licensed plumber do it on a weekend and not pulling the permit (not advocating this approach either, just separating possibilities).

Expensive blinds will get torn up, too.

It may be a case of the blind leading the blind.That and we don't need Steve B's blood pressure sky rocketing, he has knowledge to disseminate!

On their video tutorial, they said their AVM and RVM are not exact representation of the comps itself so if we were to find comps, we have to do it ourselves and not just blindly rely on AVM, RVM.

Be very careful using strategy of blind purchasingIf things go bad guess who’s left holding the purchase debt / financial issuesNot the Agent Not the property managementNot the contractorsNot the utility companies Not the tax assessor officeetc

YOU ARE AT FAULT.You blindly entered into an investment without doing YOUR homework and YOU lost.
