Just as a heads up the zoning on the auto shop/parking lot is going to affect you sale price quite a bit.

Today, property management called with the official notice that the landlord wants to sell the house we are renting.

Needless to say, the city posted a red tag notice on the door 10 days later and the tenant could no longer enter the home.I can honestly say that the home was safe and I would have no problem living there personally but the city is furious that permits weren’t pulled and this home seems to have had quite a history with the city (not in a good way).

I noticed I needed to get more involved in the community as there are more and more questions that I don't have clear answers to.

I would suggest you send written notice to terminate the contract based upon their negligence for approving that repair without your consent.  

The goal is very big for starters, but I implore you to plug into my example the requirements of only doing 1 deal every 3 months or 6 months, you will notice the amount of money required and amount of houses required greatly reduces in that case. 

And as much fun competition is at times, I knew that was not the best way to get ahead(which is really what most of us want).     

I noticed both lenders want 25% and I’m confused as to why.

I have noticed a property in my neighborhood that has been empty for about 6 months now.

I scheduled mine 8 months ahead, especially after the north bay fires.
