I know there must be plenty of real estate flippers in the Birmingham AL area.I want to warn you that there is a danger in ordering Kitchen Cabinets online as we havejust been ripped off by such a business.  

I hope to see more landlords in Allentown posting renovated rental adds and less more of the same low end properties that attract bad tenants continuing the local opinion that Allentown is dangerous. 

I would talk to the city and see what they can do, they may repossess the property as it is a danger to surrounding buildings and the public, they may even sell it for cheap to an investor, because if it is abandoned chances are that nobody is paying the property taxes either.

Just like the city, there are pockets of nice areas where people take very good care of their properties and areas that are dangerous and not worth investing in. 

The real danger fOr these REITs is the refinance risk.

All that being said, I think it's dangerous to assume nothing will happen - better to get involved in opposing this idea than to be surprised that it passed.

@Thomas HammondThis is a very sticky and dangerous situation. 

Well, let me tell you that's a dangerous attitude for those of you that haven't gone there yet.

So, I don't think we are dangerously close to a bust at this point.

Dangerous game to compare the two.Best of luck, and happy to connect and discuss!
