@Adam Peralto More & more owners are posting here on BP about their rentals sitting vacant too long.Which means owners aren't paying attention to the rental market - which is slowing, causing Days On Market (DOM) to increase:(Take a look at the graph below from ShowMojo, comparing average DOM for 2018-2024.DOM are now about 40% longer than they were 2 years ago.Many owners also don't seem to be aware of real estate market fundamentals, such as seasonal effects:1) After September, when kids go back to school, there's a noticeable dip in activity in both the sales & rentals.2) After Halloween, there's another noticeable dip.

So the effect is a confiscation of private property and a transfer of the property for no cost from the landlord to the tenant. 

Thank you all for your opinions and insights, in light of the recent information we have banned Bob Prisco from the forums effective immediately for breaking numerous forum rules.

TT and Youtube also, but you'd have to funnel them to IG to be able to effectively DM.  

Many reasons: to encourage/discourage certain economic behavior, to appease a certain industry lobby or some fellow lawmakers or even sometimes a private individual, to buy votes, to balance economic effects of a new law, as well as simply out of incompetence of our lawmakers.

Find out where you stand (whether they'd give you the loan, how your credit score effects it, and what your mortgage payment would be).

How do you effectively determine this and how do you propose to the bank to support your rehab costs (again guessing this has to come out of your pocket?)

In my opinion, this is much more effective than texting, which often feels like a constant game of cat and mouse with phone carriers.

A debt relief company is probably your best and most cost effective option. 

Dollar/sqft is effective.
