I have also removed old linoleum floors to find that newspaper was used as an underlayment - date on newspaper might be relevant.

I'd like to keep things as digital as possible.Before I spend too much time going after PayNearMe to be a vendor of mine I'd love to hear some stories of its success with lower income tenants.Thank you in advance,Michael

Interesting to see Los Angeles appreciation so low as a region as I'm seeing double digit rent and value increases in my neighborhood.  

Most of the suburbs have seen double digit increases and have now caught up to 2006 values.

Snow yes - high grass and newspapers and mail piling up are other indicators - Now as an investors looking to capture some equity -- what do you need to do now?

@Daniel Holbrook,  Private money for industrial buildings is not going to be below the double digit rate or a higher LTV. 

I've never ran accross this type of issue, but I'm thinking an ad for x number of days in legal newspaper and if no one claims the interest then they are written off?

I also look for it to throw off at least 6% by year 2 and climbing to 8% or greater by year 3, and getting to double-digits by year 5.I also look at the IRR over a 10 year hold, 5 year hold, and 3 year hold, looking for at least a 14% IRR (net to investor after all splits and fees) over 10 years and higher IRRs for the shorter holds. 

"SPOA gone digital" is a deceptive name being used by MassLandlords.

I haven't heard of anyone getting caught, but since airbnb has digital records of your whole history, that could in theory be used in any case the city brings against you.
