Notice I said personal loans above. 

I am out of state, but am able to fly to Cleveland within a days notice.

In short, put yourself in the other person's shoes - would you want to be in the 2nd, 3rd, 4th and etc position?!

I know this topic has a lot of forum questions dedicated to it already, but my go-to resources direct mail list resources seem to be set-up differently then in the past.I have used Reonomy and List Source previously for direct mail leads with good enough results that I'd use them again, however Reonomy has just recently been forcing an annual contract instead of monthly which is WAY too costly for what I need, and List Source has split up the commercial properties list differently then the last time I used them and almost all of them are listed in "Commercial: miscellaneous" with every other property types, and I have tried filtering differently with no positive results.My goal is to get "true ownership information"(Names, Addresses, Phone Numbers of people who own LLCs & INCs), but for now this is a one time thing, so I don't need an annual contract, and I don't want to pay thousands for Co-Star for an entire year or something.I do have TLO, however pulling multiple owner's information is very time consuming, so I'd like to do this only for a few select properties.Long story short, I'd settle for any ownership information whether it's company data or not, but I'd like to do a one time deal and get 500-1000 leads.

I saw income growth as the path to a "better" vehicle or "better" widget I'd barely notice was improved.

Thanks guys, it's reassuring to find others in the know who hold a positive light to investing in Detroit, there are pleny of doom-and-gloomers out there, thats for sure!

I was told that my tenant/buyer had given them notice that her last day in the house was the 10/3. 

Using amortization calculators I noticed I could pay off the loan a lot faster by adding extra payments.

The losses are suspended to future years.2) You may be purchasing the property but not have it in service till 2019 - which may not allow you to deductions in 20183) You may have net positive rental income.There are tax benefits to owning real estate.

I discussed my position and explained that if everyone expected payment for an inconvenience then every tenant would insure an inconvenience every month.
