I would *love* to get my hands on some 70's stuff, frankly, because that is when central heat & air became common around here.

St Pete is a wonderful place to live and is safer than most large cities.The crime is most prevalent in pockets south of Central Ave along the US 19 (aka 34th St) corridor.Feel free to email me for specifics.

Few weeks ago i finished, Marshal Goldsmith's book "What Got you here, won't get you there" and during some point in the book, the Author mentions that he has witnessed 2 miracles in his life and that was the birth of his kids.

You can find 300-400K 2-4 units that are very safe (West Hartford, Simsbury, Avon, Glastonbury, Newington in central CT) as well as other areas in closer to NYC in the Stamford area. 

How could the management company obligate you to a contract for a longer term than the contract that authorized them to so?  

Maybe it's the way that the housing authority in our area works or our local culture but it seems that the vast majority of the applicants that we get who are on public assistance almost always fail to disclose that their spouse or significant other will be living with them and we generally find out that they aren't being truthful during the screening process.Our application process is straight forward; all adults (18 or over) who will be living at the property must fill out an application and be on the lease.

@Robert Melcher, that's quite the coverage for central Texas, I'll will definitely reach out to you!

Hi there sebastian greetings from the central coast I'm new to this site but I've done a good amount of looking in the forums to know that it's filled with great knowledge.

At this point they're still paddling down that big river in Egypt but once the fit hits the shan they'll start taking my calls.For long term holders, e.g. not syndicators or private equity, if you buy with low leverage and a margin of safety in the cash flow you can pay market prices today and in 20 years the guy who sold it to you will be wishing he never sold.If you think prices are high in your market check out Vancouver BC where you'd be buying 60 year old, flat roof, single pane window, central boiler, never been remodeled buildings at 'suite' cap rates in the upper 2s.Just some food for thought but I don't think the Fed is as likely to raise rates (and drive up cap rates) any time as soon as most think.

Mortgage PayoffHas anyone found a way (or pay-service) to obtain a CURRENT mortgage payoff for mortgage/note WITHOUT owners authorization?
