I have pleasant neighbors, kids feel free to play in the streets, people mow their lawn, and no drama usually equals low crime. 

I would swoon from shock if I actually saw a good credit report.The big three credit killers I've come to expect are student loans, medical bills, and divorce.What I look for is the age of the bad credit.

When I tell them 3.5% down and a 600 score, most are pleasantly surprised to find out they are closer than they thought to being able to buy.

I have never dealt with this issue before, so I am in shock...There is a crawl space underneath this 1-story house (San Diego, CA), and the building is built in 1960.

I was wary because it was only $1/month, which I thought was too good to be true.However, I've been pleasantly surprised. 

But if you're shocked and/or dismayed by the goings-on in the housing court (and not to scare you, but be prepared for it), you will really need to do some serious soul-searching about whether or not this "investment" is the best way to deploy your hard-earned $$.

Add to that the sleeping in your property thing, just another sign of a non-professional.It's really shocking how investors stick their necks out in terms of risk just to save a few bucks.

And if it IS on MLS, we're still happy to make an offer on it, but the seller may be a bit shocked.

Not everyone in a public forum is going to pleasantly state their advice or opinion. 

I was shocked when HD's roofing contractors bid was almost 3X my lowest bid, and 2X the other 2 bids I received on the same roof.
