I could not imagine how cold it must have it been for her during the winter and when it rained, things at her house must be soaked and yet...because she did not have the money to solve the problem, she was forced to live with it.

One side says that lenders should be forced to keep people in their homes because they are going to lose huge sums foreclosing on the property anyway, why not restructure the loan and keep the current resident in the home.

hi scotttruebut thats the case in any market. the issue is not pricethe issue is value.you can buy well in any market if you know what you want and you know how or what to buy.35% discount or 50% discount should not be the only factor when buying but it is a very big driving force if the idea is to hold for the long run there are many reasons to buy real estate for growth, for return, for a loss( this is not the norm in your market but is in others) and even for retirement to shelve incomeso there are lots of reasons.the problem for long hold investors is looking for income and growth these are a bit hard to judge and even harder when buying into a new are or countrybut for me the rules are the same.do a templet and then duplicate it or mirror it.and price for me is not a major issue as long as it meeting your templete requrements

Without the majority of people knowing what a party or candidate stands for, they really cant compete.Having hated the Republican party when they were running the show under Bush (thats what made me start caring about politics at all), and then being lied to by Obama and seeing more that I dont like from the Left (forced health care and other socialism); people like me are left with only 3rd party options or just apathy.

if they fine me, depending on the amount i won't pay it. if they throw me in jail, i'll be costing them money for some piddly offense and will have a short term. they sure as F*ck won't be able force me to let them live there, i'll make their (tenants) life hell so bad they'll move out on their own real fast. even if i, for some reason, decide to use the eviction process, i'll just start that process the minute they move in. that way, what ever BS time frame can pass and i can exercise it later on my own immediate terms. i'll hide the eviction language in the rental agreement (that they won't get a copy of). bottom line; renters are pieces of sh*t and i'll stop at nothing to ensure they can be thrown out on my time frame instead of after they're done damaging my financial/physical property.
