You need to do you own due diligence to make sure a particular property is worth buying anyway.The good news is that real estate isn't (at least I doesn't have to be) a face-paced high-pressure environment.

We buy all the properties with our own funds and then distribute them to our investor partners who are looking for opportunities to use their funds and or self directed IRAs to generate double digit returns not otherwise available anywhere else so it's been a great win win strategy.  

And representatives for the real owner, Bank of America, said they are aware of the situation and are following a legal process.http://articles.sun-sentinel.com/2013-01-28/news/f...

The good news is that you will only have to evict one tenant and the entire building will shape up.

@Philip Ganz The news exaggerates the risk dramatically because it sells.

I have had some estimates recently in the double digit thousands from the big name companies and just curious how it makes sense for anyone to pay that much.

If its just one spot a plumber can dig it up and repair it for a grand.

In California, where I live, Appreciation rates have been well over double digits and had been as high as 20% for 2 years straight at one point, which is obviously much better than the national average of 3.9%.
