Contact the local legal aid or fair housing dept if there is one.But, it sounds like the place isn't habitable.  

The realtor that I work with the closest and I have tax and legal concerns over splitting commission.Is anyone else doing this?

If you think you have been discriminated against, you can seek out legal aid.

I just check rents online or call if theres number on the 10 closest houses in similiar cond size etc and average them out and lean towards the lower side to be safe.

Those all line up based on the legal address as an index not the street address as a reference/location aide.

Also, and I may be biased, but I think my partner and I are cooler and better looking than the closest competition. ;) Sex sells!

Hawaii is the closest Air Medivac and would appreciate any help as far as transportations for these wounded people.

I currently - -Look for vacant property, talk to neighbors, try to contact the owners-Advertise in the local paper-Post bandit signs -am placing flyers in every local business that will allow me to -belong to the closest REIA -Actively look for wholesalers, landlords, anyone in the business that may be able to help/provide me with leads.

Long Beach will be the furthest of those 4 cities, about 20 miles south on some very heavily traveled freeways, and the closest cities in Riverside County will be about 35-40 miles due east, straight shot on Highway 10 (Santa Monica Freeway), which is also heavily traveled.If your friend is interested in flipping and is hands-on, i.e., at the work site daily either working or supervising, then yes, going to the Inland Empire every day is going to be a drag, but if that's where the deals are, that's where the money is.

This will aid in your real world education and you will begin to build your connections.Good luck.
