For example, Zestimates are typically about 30% higher than what I would consider realistic.Note: this review is only of their Value Report product: http://www.housecanary.com/product-value-report/Upon visiting the site, it promotes $5 property reports and as cheap and skeptical as I am I was leery of letting go of that crisp Abe Lincoln I has been clutching in my hand but anxious to know if it could really be as good as the sample PDF report they offer was I gave it a go.It required me to create an account and then much to my delight actually just gave me 10 free reports without ever entering any billing info!  

If a landlord follows the laws in LA (set in 2005), which includes paying for temporary relocation including food, lodging, telephone transfers, moving expenses, etc, the landlord can apply 50% of the costs of improvements on to the lease (capped at 10% increase). 

This is all food for thought - do whatever you are most comfortable with.

You've given me food for thought, and more homework to do.

Most even slightly successful people are delighted to talk about their success, but no one likes to cast pearls before swine.Personally, it also irks me to deal with young people who have no obvious reason to invest in real estate, beyond scratching a general itch to make more money in order to spend more money on improving their lifestyle.

Food for thought.

The stock market is down 2,200 points in the last 10 days, there was a negative -1.4 growth for last quarter, recession is pending, ships are stalled in China because they have locked down the city and can't load, the auto industry can't get computer chips to finish cars, mortgage rates are up, fertilizer isn't shipping and this is the planting season so there are going to be food shortages, Wells Fargo laid off 550 mortgage lenders which means lending is tightening, Deutche Bank is being investigated for money laundering and food processing plants are mysteriously catching fire.Doing pretty well myself, how about you?

Same thing, if there is a shift from fine dining to fast food, then fewer dollars are being spent.3.

Renting also gives you the freedom to leave in 30 days or less where to get your money out of the house may take longer.Just food for thought from Rich Dad, Poor Dad.

Most of these folks are of the working poor class and situated in large metro areas from New York to Atlanta, where the cost of living, including shelter, food, and fuel, has skyrocketed."
