I am one of those people who needs to get things right and understand it from top to bottom.

I kept reminding myself of the 'funnel' that @Brandon Turner is so fond of talking about in the Podcast and hoping that SOMETHING 'would drip out the bottom some day'!

Bottom line, they already made adjustments do it now.

Not comprimising on your screening criteria when you really want to fill the unit is where the rubber meets the road with tenant screening. 

Ask local investors/realtors.I have found this information on the county website, but not in list form, so it's a pain to get something meaningful.The bottom line I got was being persistent. 

People can say otherwise and use all sorts of algorithms, graphs, charts and guesses, but knowing when a market is near its peak or will continue to go up or whether it has bottomed or will continue to go down is just not feasible.

Roofer: minor repairs and maintenance work on flat rubber roof.

Plan was to renovate units cosmetically top to bottom and bring rents to market.

The bottom unit is a one bedroom with a long term tenant renting for $675, plus he takes care of snow removal.

The liens at the top of the list were higher priority and got paid first (such as the $54K the former owner owed the IRS) while the liens towards the bottom of the list would only be paid if there was still money left after paying the higher priority liens.Since the IRS lien was priority (or at least that's my understanding) didn't they get all $40,001?
