My interest is actually that I just am being made aware of this debacle...it's my in-laws so without realizing it, I have a dog in this fight i didn't even know was happening.http://www.nmlsconsumeraccess.org/    go to this web address and type in the peoples name. 

For example if they were taking a portion that impacted the traffic flow to your center for access or taking a piece of your parking lot that affected your parking spaces to sq ft ratio for the tenants and customers.Another example is if they changed turn lanes or lights to where (STACKING) occurs.

but also more traffic noise (minus for tenants?)

Tons of articles on the web about this, but check out gocurrycracker.com, Mrmoneymustache.com, google around it a bit, etc.I think for *most* long-term investors, VTSAX is a great starting point.

Traffic has always been the major challenge & with the metro south of DCA shutting down this summer, I might have to only have meetups on Sunday morning.

The first couple weeks (when I had the most traffic) I was asking $250 pet deposit and $25 extra a month, which I have since changed to $300 per pet deposit and no pet rent to see if that was just not working in this town.

If you find their web site, they will typically have a process for you to file a complaint.

Right now my only traffic is from my direct mail campaigns.  

This web site is all about assisting other landlord/investors not protecting tenants.

Do we steal the key from the lock box and let no-one else in, the old "Dead hooker" and fake friends posing as cops blocking traffic ploy?
