The down side of this (vs. a Buyer's Agent) is most attorneys will not have access to the MLS and other useful info for you.

I evict all the crackers, clean up the property and find good tenants, which turns around the property (and often the entire block).Of course he has high operating expense ratios.

It's a two bed, one bath with a one stall garage, and it's two blocks from my college.

The whole block has businesses in which were once SF houses, so its clearly been done before in this area.In the topic of rezoning, would I have to go through the municipal government and file my claim?

Let us know when you get the rest of the information needed to accurately access the operating expenses.

I just started receiving Michael Kimble's emails too- they are tempting, but I agree with Mr_Investor's remarks.Any updates on whether his Customer Support is any more accessible and responsive now?...

If she was even to present such an offer she is fearful that the bank will pull the listing and put the house up on the auction block.

That will help us to remember which ones we are tracking and they will be readily accessible.

If it is pretty much consistantly ratty looking, if over half the homes on a block are kind of yuck and the rest are not too great (Hope my adjectives make sense).

I would NOT provide access to the lockbox, as most MLS's have strict rules against this.
