But if he's known you for a long time and has seen you cave often, then that might only see like an empty bluff to him.Usually people need to hit rock bottom before they help themselves.

They usually don't keep it business like, because you're family and thus you're easily in between a rock and a hard place.2) What if they live another 30-40 years?

You guys rock!

I can run numbers, cash flow analysis etc- believe it or not- even with a 5-20% down I have been finding nuggets here and there that cash flow well- but that which I do not have the down payment for at the moment- he's gotten some passive investors interested in multi's with my analyses for investments.I am also interested in flips- I run into some great flip possibilities that come out as I scour- (duplexes in eagle rock, anaheim,etc).

Just because it is a $600K claim does not mean they will pay and with that large of claim, they will look under every rock to see if there is any type of fraud.Joe Gore

Our city/county has more than 10,000 surplus properties in inventory at the moment that they are selling at literally rock bottom prices.

Buying a property as an owner occupied and then moving later is an excellent way to build a portfolio quickly and with rock-bottom interest rates.

In the city it is alot harder some places you can not use a 90% due to venting problems and forced to use a 80%.I think rob was pointing it out that it may be a extra cost that we should be aware of when doing our bids for 2013 on putting a extra 2,500 to 3,500 on our HVAC "on your permit job"We have started doing the 90% this year and we use it when we are listing as well as our energy star appliances and windows and alot of our clients want them in and nice to list for our agents to move the project off the market faster.

As to larger areas that will likely be cleared, I'll bet the prices go up generally as with new construction, improved property management measures are taken, given the location, like Rock Away Beach, who has suffered several disasters.We will see.
