They don't know when things are wrong, and they don't know when they are getting skimmed or scammed.

If you’re in the halfway house business for profitability you’re doing it for all the wrong reasons. It’s not really a business per se, it’s a nonprofit providing a community service.

I do my fair share of $300k-$700k sales here in Los Angeles don't get me wrong, but my easy math brain loves using the even numbers for examples!

There is a logic that says they don't want to be below that number because it wouldn't appraise at value... but then there is also a logic that they don't want to be too much above your sales price either or the lender starts going "Is there something wrong with the property... why isn't it selling at market value?" 

If the timeline on evictions is important enough to an investor that it guides where they invest, then they’re looking at the wrong criteria in my opinion.

But that doesn't make it wrong.

If you are hiring a PI to check on tenants, you are looking at the wrong tenants.

I don't really have anything to say but good luck to you. can't stop laughing. but don't take me wrong, it's just sarcastic in a funny way.

so after reading all the posts, it sounds like his best bet is just to move on and walk away finding another place maybe coming back in future to keep contact with that person if he really wants that location… Correct me if I’m wrong, but my analysis from all this is that hiring a squatter would only be applicable in situations where the person who is occupying the residence never had a lease or contract therefore it is a rare circumstance where it would be a viable option. 

I can’t tell you how many times I was told by an uninformed agent that something was legal or zoned for and was wrong.
