I want cash-flowing properties and I like the section 8 program.

I will order a diminished value report, which will basically tell us the value of the 11 feet and FATICO will compensate you for the loss of that 11 feet.

As the banks have probably realized large losses, they sometimes are unwilling to expend any time or money, and further liability.

Hi; when I first learned of lease options I remember reading that even US government programs used or provided financing for them.

I've been in touch with an attorney who deals in RE, and asked if I have a case for a claim to recover any losses, and am still waiting to hear back.

Your question seems to be asking how they would know because you want to follow that approach, which makes me pause....Since the bank is a loss payee on the hazard policy, yes, they will notice.They also notice names on tax bills being paid.They notice if there is an insured loss to the property.They may also notice someone else is paying the loan.They also audit loans, and bank examiners audit loans and occupancy can be verified easily.

Send a copy of the ordinance along with a letter to the owner and explain the loss of income being suffered by the nuisance.

Owning an index fund, while it limits the great returns, it also limits the great losses.

Least - I grow tired of tenants sometimes :) And, the weight of it all sometimes seems ominous, but I just remind myself that everything cashflows.Full time real estate is fun - but only if you LOVE real estate.
