Hello BP,I would like to say good morning to the BP family and hope everyone is in the best of health mentally, as well as physically. 

Guys - Lets not forget what the Unemployment Rate measures:According to Robert Schenk, PHd in Economics:Excluded from any consideration in determining employment-unemployment status are all those under 16 years of age and those in penal or mental institutions, sanatoriums, and homes for the infirm, aged, or needy.

The house is in some stage of foreclosure process, and i know there's at least one lien for $10K on it for the chain-link fence that was put up around it by the city, and I know that the previous owner has taken some equity out of it before he split to Mexico.From some research, it was one of about 7-10 houses this one "therapist" purchased in LA and Long Beach area over the years - i found at least 5 that have gone into and have already sold through foreclosure auctions - and the houses were used for both drug and mental illness rehab, as well as advertised themselves as AIDS friendlyAre there some red-flags in pursuing such a property?

You are a psychologist - read up on theories of behavioral finance, herd mentality and value investing.

It doesn’t make sense to me.I don’t have the fog lights (the information or mental acuity) to pierce through the cloud of uncertainty.  

I'm crazy, just ask my mental health provider but that's lock you up kinda stuff there.

What I do is compliment telling them I could never tell they needed a service animal (or emotional support animal for mental illness)  so I will have to ask for that letter to be fair to all the other tenants that have to pay deposits and extra rent for their pets.

I loved it, but it also takes a lot of physical and mental energy to live there, and you have to actively seek out nature and green spaces.

Tenants who don't have to pay rent from their own pocket also don't have the mentality to keep the property clean and safe - usually the opposite.

This site has a lot of investors and some continually buy and sell so the mentality by some is that brokers/agents are not needed or they want their services only in a reduced and cheap role.The bigger majority of the markets want the experience and help with the relationship for business.
