In most markets, deals are not just hanging out on the MLS listings. 

Hang in there.

Also, can anyone in the Chicagoland area tell me what the true laws are in regards to hanging bandit signs.

Nothing illegal about it.A to B = you buy the propertyB to C = you sell the propertyThe only hang up folks get into is whether you can use C's money to buy the property in the A to B transaction, but if you have the funds to buy the property without C's money you are golden. 

It ignores the loan balance being paid down by the tenants and any appreciation that comes along but if the property isn't cash flowing enough you won't (or won't be able to) hang on to it long enough to enjoy those benefits.The other measures such as IRR, DCF and NPV require that you correctly identify the selling price somewhere out in the future.

It is oppressive.Put some flowering plants in front and maybe some hanging plants of angle brackets off the posts or from the porch ceiling to brighten things up.

Do you mean being able to mislead the seller into believing you can and will buy the property, but allowing you to leave them hanging if that is what works best for you?

We are planning on having a Meetup in Itaewon on October 11th.http://www.meetup.com/Seoul-REI-Meetup/events/2004...Come hang out and bring a friend.

They don't have any framing, and I suspect you hang drywall on top of electrical and plumbing that you frame to the side of the units.I've never built anything like that, but this is not the first time I've heard of it. 

It's much better to use than excel once you get the hang of it.
