One edge of one of my properties borders a private street and it is a bit of a pain.

In fact, I came to this thread thinking it was going to be about the pain involved from the other side.

You may not be able to tell but in the before picture the house is up on blocks.

The goal is for her to "feel the pain" a little bit so that it is relatively easy to get her out for the next owner.

One way to ease the pain of raising rent on tenants (if you plan to keep them) is to show that you are going to take care of the property better than the past owner, so they see their rents will go back into making the property better.

Don't think the prices a block over will justify a higher price when your property is on a busy street and the comps are not.

For me that's just not good enough so I have recently started placing block after strategic block in a foundation for our new real estate investment firm that I hope will bear greater and longer lasting fruits than our first attempt.Although our credit has recovered for the most part from our personal housing crash, we have been unable to acquire capital for down payments.

To that extent, an illustration of the pain that can come with working with an instrument that is not the same as a mortgage and what can happen if you (or your counsel for that matter) fail to do proper research on and properly execute.

Realize the things a lot of people say can be done theoretically, but in practice is a real pain in the rear and no Realtor wants to work with you.I have taken enough boot camps in the past and spend enough money on the gurus promoting no money down easy money creative finance deals.

I don't want to sound or seem like a pain but you should really ensure all systems are a go day 1.
