For example:http://www.ripoffreport.com/r/Cold-Spring-Advisory... where they list 10 disclosures in 8 years and that were barred from any association with FINRA, the governing body for the rading industry.

Garrett Amundson , welcome to an amazingly generous collection of people who consistently surprise me with their willingness to share knowledge and ideas (I make an attempt to reciprocate in areas where I have expertise).

We attempted to buy from out of state and decided we would rather rent first and make a more educated purchase than rush into a possible mistake. 

Not attempting to prove you wrong or discredit you by any means Sir, simply curious as to your complete thoughts on the matter.

Where the water was overflowing out of the top its seems to be the only logical conclusion.The tenant denies over loading and is saying that he is not responsible and will take me to court if I attempt to use his security deposit.

The plan is to get a 6 month to a year monthly lease on the property, to cover the debt to income ratio, and then either attempt a cash out refinance or an equity line of credit.

Hi Everybody, Only 5 months into my lease (1 year agreement) I need to move out of my apartment because there are numerous problems in the building. 1) Poor management (no repairs), 2) lack of hygiene on the common areas, 3) bedbugs, 4) drug dealing, and 5) attempts of breaking into units.

I've often found those making offers always trying to hit home runs, and overpaying as a result. they often do so because they are attempting to mitigate perceived risk. maybe work in areas others aren't or wont (often because they are greedy or scared or both), Maybe concentrate on places with smaller returns, and do more of them.

Then you would need to sue them in small claims court to attempt to recover your deposit due to the non-disclosure, but I'm not sure if you would win.

So attempting to isolate those 'strategies' really doesn't even make sense since by isolation the strategy you limit you capability of recovery.So if we change the person/entity to which we asked the question "what strategy did you use" to say a bank the question becomes a bit absurd.
