While driving the other day, my wife and I found three properties that look like very nice homes although the grass was waste high, no curtains/blinds, and no furniture.

Many investors don't want to wait around and waste time to see if they will get the property, but I have bought them for myself, and sold them to other investors without any issues.

The seller is willing to work with me but I don’t want to waste her time.

Life is too short to live somewhere you hate, or waste time wishing you lived somewhere else all for an investment property or two.

Otherwise don't waste your time. 

Even in the absence of your counter offer, suing for specific performance (which can certainly be done in most states) is usually a pointless waste of time.

Perhaps they didn't understand the effects of the growth on the unit. 

Current management team is not functioning effectively. 

Ask him or her to give you an estimate over the phone.I do not enjoy wasting my contractors' time.

My realtor just let me know that the city of Charlotte is proposing a few changes to its rental housing ordinances.While in general I support making sure that tenants have a safe and healthy place to live and owners being responsible for their properties, I do think it is always a good idea to review the changes being made and how they effect us owners.
