This report will state the condition/remaining life of major components of the property and determine the amount that will be required to be escrowed.

That seems very low to me.Remember, this will include property management (likely 10% of gross rents), maintenance (could be another 8-10% of gross rents), capital expenses (probably $50 per month), vacancy (likely 5-8% of gross rents), utilities, lawn care, legal fees, etc.I'd ask them what their projections are for each of these components...you'll find that it's a lot more than $130/month is calculated correctly.

We're working to track the efficiency of our bandit sign campaign.While in the midst of drafting the spreadsheet for the tracking form we were going to use to track this, I discovered that I didn't know how to track which bandit sign route (we have 7 different ones, a different one is done each week) the call came from.Our routes are segmented by zip codes.

Very helpful for newbies & any old-timers that would like to learn more about the components of a house and estimating.

The town later discovered the ditch was actually on Marinaccio's property, and that it was too small to handle the flow of water.Lawyers on both sides said Monday that Marinaccio's frog testimony amounted to just moments of a more than three-week trial — and may not have affected the jury's award.

In the process of making a spreadsheet of the properties in close proximity (2 blocks) of my rental, I discovered that one of the properties is a REO that's been transferred from bank to investor to bank since 2007, finally landing last year in the lap of a bank who purchased it as part of a wholesale package.

Before we could figure out how to finance it, they took it off the market, but I expect to see it come back up sometime in the near future.I have since discovered BP and my eyes have been opened to different strategies we could use.

Understand, I have a degree in Int'l Marketing, taught it at one if the largest biz schools in the country, but was, in fact, clueless in how to make it work for me.Again, when I was sufficiently open-minded and desperate enough, I discovered how real direct response marketers work.

"EC" was supposed to make the mortgage payments, then we discover we are almost at foreclosure.

I may not have discovered the holes in my strategy until it was too late if it hadn't been for these forums.
