Dealing with the drama of an easily triggered violent temper and a lack of respect for others is not something to let slide.

Short Sales "By the Numbers" [LINK REMOVED] I just registered and watched all their short sale training videos in one day plus read almost all of their posts and boy is my back sore...but it's worth it!

I have some really great stuff in the works (just bought a really nice HD webcam for my videos).Anyways, come around Tuesday I will be moving my buyer list marketing into second gear.

As you can see the stuff these people huck in books and videos is very different from the real world people in the trenches doing deals day in and day out.

Here is a little bit of video footage of the outside of the property.http://www.youtube.com/watch?

[The landlord is the property owner]As of now; (only one bad apple) roommate has had trespassing guests (entered house through back door at 1am without him being awake); gas stove left on all evening multiple times and general violent/aggressive mannerisms.

I wanted to start a thread not just to discuss what constitutes a war zone, (the number of murders, violent crimes, drugs in one area may constitute a war zone to one investor but not another) but more specifically to see if anyone out there on BP thrives in this "niche" market.Someone owns those house in war zones, and with as much as you see/hear/read about avoiding them there is potentially money to be made.I'd like see if anyone is willing to defend such an investment strategy, and I understand the issues that come along with it.

An off-shoot would be mobile video production and syndication.

Makes much better youtube videos.
