@Aaron DesimoneIts always best to fight water infiltration from the exterior. 

We are still fighting against the proposed ban.

This really gets hairy if the tenant fights you in court.

There is a big fight for tenants' rights, including city-wide rent control, making credit reports valid for 90 days for screening tenants (meaning if a tenant has a credit report from 3 months ago, you as the landlord would not be able to run a new one on them for screening purposes - there is a LOT someone can do to ruin their credit in 3 months!)

:)I suspect if an owner pitched a fit he would get this scenario over turned and the owner would have to go through the legal motions to foreclose.I know in Oregon if you record a lease option and have a fight the judge with require a full blown Sherriff sales which takes a year.. 

If we'd rented for 5 more years, we could've bought a good dozen distressed properties during the time we were fighting an upside down mortgage.

Once its in your blood you just can't fight it!

Of course thats going to take a whole lot of work in fixing my horriable credit, I had a few bad situations over the years and it's taken it's toll on my credit report....got my hours and pay cut as a result of 9/11, eviction, fell behind on student loans which then went into default, bankruptcy, became a daddy, got hit with child support...etc etcon a positive note my girlfriend is about to complete nursing school in about 2 weeks and her credit isnt great but nowhere near the disaster that mine is. things should be looking up soon as there is a major shortage of nurses and they'll be fighting over offering her a well paying new job. meanwhile i'm going to kep plugging away at repairing my credit and learn as much as I can about real estste investing and hopefully one day we can be as successfull as some of you.

They are not fighting the process.

If they want to quibble about the value, I'm happy to fight it out in court.
