This way the politicians don't take so much heat for supplying more services to the rich.

In most States the Department of Agriculture has an office called the Cooperative Extension Office that works with local farmers and the community.

I can see supplying batteries for smoke detectors.

My understanding from a most recent conversation with a loan officer is Rent x .75-PITI.Are you subtracting rental mortgages twice?

Also you can try checking your local Staples or Office Max they sometime have some to go by as well as rental agreements...

If not, you'll have to go to the courthouse and go to the recorder's office (may be called something different in your state and county.)

So through a connection, I'm having dinner next Wednesday with the SEVP/CCO (Chief Credit Officer) of a local bank.

Until the silly AB284 mess is overcome, the supply is bad.

On the day that I turned in my two week notice, I was called down to assistant GM's office (2nd in command at my work).

I have now resorted to putting a "for rent" sign on all of my buildings in a neighborhood where I have a vacancy - even on the buildings that have no vacancy; this gets the phone to ring more, and I explain to the tenants there in advance that I am not trying to rent their place but another one I have that's vacant.I get some referrals from code enforcement officers - typically tenants who are fed up with their present Landlord and are asking about somebody who has properties in good repair and good condition.I also use a service that is called Locators.
