I'm calling the police to inform them today.http://www.bostonglobe.com/metro/regionals/north/2013/07/27/contractor-alleged-scams-detailed-police-reports/75mMu9gE6P78imFjzMJrLM/story.htmlkeywords - boston, massachusetts, new hampshire

Way to go spam police!!!

How is purchasing the above deal looking at it different than looking at neighborhood police/crime reports, and perhaps requesting exterior shots of neighborhood?

This was actually a topic that was presented and backed by a police chief in a community here in VA where a group of investors wanted to facilitate a deal with the city to acquire abandoned city-owned properties. 

I did request rent roll and vacancy rates, information from local HUD office and plan to talk to police in addition to crime research. 

They spend more time criticizing the police than supporting them and trying to make the city safe.As far as the charts, keep in mind there could be people leaving Chicago for the suburbs.

Police report is expected by Tuesday.I've never done an eviction before. 

My contractor told the kids (against my wishes) that they would call the police if they didn't stay off the property and so the kids went back to the dad and told him and then he came over and started yelling at my guys and said they have every right to play where they want.

I wouldn't mind putting in the time to police my own properties.

That Canadian has the right idea, LOL.Zoning is accomplished based on restrictive uses under police powers (Ooops, basic RE stuff) categories or zoning areas are set from a highest use or restriction to the lowest restriction.
