I posted just now about evicting a mentally ill inherited tenant.

A significant majority of the current residential occupants are disabled, addicts, mentally ill and/or the borderline homeless.

Take the time to build your knowledge, but hold on to that action taking mentality.

You shouldn't see the deductible as anything but true emergencies, so maybe it's a mentality thing with how you view it?  

The challenge here is mixing the investment mentality with needing a place to live.

Since you’re buying as a investment property the bank will be happy and I dont think the current owner will care as he’s already mentally moved and just waiting for his check to clear.

Most of that was grossly uninformed (deliberately or otherwise), and a very sad reflection on the politicization of what was once reasonably objective media sources.In any event, I think long term this will provide a strong boost to the economy and will be seen much more positively than it's seen in the very short term.

Crofton's only downside is 1/2 of Crofton gets bused to South River high school which is so so and far away but Crofton is building a new high shcool which will boost values.

We exist in a “do” culture, often leapfrogging the thinking process.Overly “do-ing” cuts us off at the knees.WISDOM LEADS TO WEALTH.Soundness in judgment allows one to make fewer decisions of greater financial impact, and confidence in letting those decisions “ride”.Fewer decisions reduce time waste and mental scatter, and confidence provides peace of mind…collectively, allowing one to be in the moment for what matters most.True wealth achieved.

Can you do a screen for mental incapacity of the owner and making sure he has no one to contact that actually knows FMV?
