The challenge I see with Oaklyn becoming the next Collingswood is the fact that part of what makes Collingswood that small town feel is Haddon Ave.

So far, it has been challenging to find reliable roofers in the area (they are too busy or never sent me estimates)  Any has any recommendations???

i have some challenges you didn't...The mold test my tenant had professionally done in March showed moderate levels downstairs and high levels upstairs.

That was B.S. and I challenged it.

So stay engaged and ask all kinds of questions as well as take a look at the blogs and the pod cast.

I am on the board of two self managed HOA's (Lakeview /Wicker Park) and need assistance dealing with two separate issues:  #1 Noise disturbance in commercial space  #2 VERY delinquent assessments by a single owner Ive attempted to engage two firms already but somehow these issues seem to not be attractive to represent.
