It will cost several hundreds to $1k, or even $2,500 retainer fee, but I bet you can extract a lot more money from three of them for fraud.

As a result, we constantly look for ways to lower or eliminate expenses in our properties to improve their market competitiveness and attract and retain tenants as well as increase cash flow and property value. 

I also planted various flowering trees and bushes, built a retaining wall, enclosed the entire 2.4 acres in fencing (part white picket, part deer fence), etc.

Perhaps she realized she had dropped the ball immensely and wanted to prevent me from making too much of a stink, so she created a situation in which she could retain control.

They get a low ball offer, it goes to the trash, they may not even call the buyer's agent about rejecting the offer and just tell them days later after the buyer's agent calls to check on it.Some brokers are required by MLS or state law to retain copies of all offers for a certain period, that means your whimsical offer eats up staff time and admin expenses. 

I'm thinking of putting 0% of my own funds into the deals, but retaining a 25% ownership of the property, and profiting 25% of proceeds of income.Does this sound fair?  

So, it seems we must either find additional information that may help us determine the amount that remains to be purchased.  .......or we just wait until supply rebounds, signaling that GS is done with the program.I know.....this is not helpful.....but current status is unclear to the point of being useless.....Thanks for the heads up as it allows us to seek out information going forward that may help us estimate when the deals will begin to flow again.

One thing to seriously be advised of:  Low-e glazing blocks signal from cell towers. 

That's pretty much it.Flip the emergency switch to on.Set the thermostat to a warm temp. 70-73F should be fine this time of year.Thermostat will send a signal to the unit to fire up.If nothing happens.

Perhaps consider a little twist - find a private investor from teh coast, who is content with 6-8% and you can retain ownership of the properties.
