I've spent some serious (tens of thousands of $) and think most of the consultants out there are selling mouse milk.

Money Mustache style.Great suggestion on the 0% credit card option!

According to the article only about 20% of the properties and lots have value, the rest will cost a pile of money to raze ... sounds like the gift that keeps on taking.My Baba use to say no matter how hard you try, you'll never get milk from the bull.

If not that is another card they can use for another 4 months even if the plan is not approved etc.Effectively some owners have been able to milk living in a property for years for free without paying the bank a dime.

So,You've got a milk cow.  

I remember during my college days we had tapestry over the entire ceiling, area rugs, dressers up against the wall, book shelves and milk crates of records and books, it's a real pain to do a thorough inspection.

They're clearly milking the situation.  

Money Mustache crowd and have become very interested in renting properties.

You get ahead in this world by not paying retail for everything and getting milked dry with your money. 

Milk it as long as you can!!
