Make sure to e-mail pictures of the progress each week, etc.Good luck!

If you are an investor in LA with multiple properties (not just buying a personal home), having to spend (or set aside) an extra $2500 to $3000 per investment/unit every month and for years (or however your holding period is), because rental income was insufficient on each of the multiple rentals can become a problem.The LA market is the way it is due to forces of demand and supply and what some spend $300,000 or almost $400,000 on in LA, some in many areas wouldn't touch with a 10 foot pole.

No debate there.Then you mention "gouging," which generally refers to taking advantage of a supply/demand imbalance to essentially coerce someone into paying more than what's considered fair. 

I will message you my email so you can send me the deals that come to you that you think are good investment opportunities.

Does anyone know when they send out the email on best offers?

I immediately sent an email to Altisource notifying them of the issue.

I would still buy supplies but labor would be in exchange for him living in my rental which if i did it would be the least income producing one it rents for $500.

I received this email today, and I thought it would spark some spirited discussion...Feel free to comment.

Shoot me a message or an email. 

There's also a constant supply of potential tenants with all the bases in the area.
