And there are plenty of deep pocketed investors out there who will listen to NPR's upcoming This American Life piece on the slumlording professor of Mobile Home University - and instead of wrinkling up their faces in indignation, will instead salivate at a potentially discounted investment class.He appears to be an adherent of classic deep value investing - going back to Graham, and currently espoused by any number of value adherents, perhaps most cogently by Seth Klarman of Baupost Group.The classic value play is to patiently sit on the asset until the market recognizes its true value, the asset price rises (ie cap compresses) and you unlock the true value of the asset you bought so cheaply that you had the "margin of safety" as Graham put it, and Klarman titled his legendary book.But rather than wait for the market to recognize value - Rolfe is trying to teach the market.Rolfe doesn't believe in buy and hold forever - he wants to unlock value and appears to really believe his assets deserve lower cap rates than they are given.I think he is probably succeeding in helping to single handedly move the market.

...you can also make a complaint to the real estate commission...tends to get their attention and according to my broker, the agent can face penalties.Elio L.

I like having an agent that I can talk to face to face and adjust the policy to suit my needs.

Fixing pets will calm them down, but will also prevent you from facing a litter of puppies in your unit.

I am really excited to start, but do not want to face any legal issues... such as end up in jail or pay damages up to 100k.Thanks,Sol

Being 33 that felt like a slap in the face.

You will soon learn that some people lie right to your face (some of them think maybe you won't actually verify their info, which is exactly why you need to!).

I do own a townhouse as my primary residence and my wife and I are looking to purchase rental townhomes in popular neighborhoods near us.The issue I face is, my appiate for risk is pretty high and I want 1% rule, 50% rule properties.

The legality behind purchasing was more than I wanted to face alone and they kept me accountable to my due diligence.

(Granted, we'll make it clear to them that we're investors and buy at a discount - but they don't need that shoved in their face, so to speak.)But there is the time and cost factor as well.
