That same day I found it on a realtor's personal website 1 picture (which I check daily) GONE next day.

If you favor smaller government, stockpile food, talk about a One World Government, or study end-times prophecy, you are considered a terrorist.

I don't personally have rentals but do fix and flip and almost daily I am entering vacant / abandonded property.

SOmeone on a fixed income that relies on assistance can't reallt chance lossing the food on the table to venture off and start a business or earn an income and find that it didn't work out, having to start all over agian and being cut off in the process.

I'm thinking it may be higher if you're renting weekly, daily, etc and there's a lot more to do, but 30% sounds really high.

My primary experience has been with HUD homes, that are daily bids less than 50k and less than 10 yrs old.

My entire 2nd paycheck is that payment, utilities, food, clothes, car, gas, credit cards, student loans, and other living expenses.

They pay $42 dollars per day per man and that includes housing, hygene, clothing, and food.

To me the USPS has to be on that list, followed by Dollar General (especially in this climate), and then food and beverages like Starbucks, which has been closing stores, but nearly always occupies nice buildings, and finally banks especially ones with no exposure to CRE lending :)

So, I really want to know what you would do and why.    More food, barter items,  gold, silver, titanium, F&C real estate, mortgaged to the hilt RE, options, stocks, mutual funds, land, movies, HML lending, transactional funding, JV's or others.    I'd love to know your thoughts and back them up with why.
