This sight is pure gold!

@Jacob GoldsteinAssuming you are a private lender or hard money lender...The borrower paid the loan interest / Principle; but paid late? 

It's easy to get short-sighted, but that can be even more costly than losing out on a deal, both financially and emotionally.Not sure if BP will let me link it here, but the International Association of Certified Home Inspectors (InterNACHI) has a great rundown about Knob & Tube. 

Seems a little short sighted if not misguided.

I don’t really see an end in sight.

Same principles apply in Columbus. 

Maybe you get money out of it, maybe you don't but I tend to care more about principle than money when possible.

On the other end of the spectrum, you have the properties in the areas with gang shootings, drug raids, low performing schools, and the neighbors with 5 aggressive dogs that attack the fence anytime someone walks within sight of them.

At 44 with a much higher salary, I can get into just about any market.Your goals will likely dictate your course of action, but same principles still apply.
