It does not mean they are getting evicted, but you need to establish that paper trail should this end up at the LTB.

I like using pencil and paper (and a regular calculator) to do my initial analysis on any property.  

Those properties tend to show you high returns on paper but in reality they never yield those returns.

Figured I'd layout my first purchase with some questions... any and all comments/suggestions are welcome. 

(Another tip: in Word, if you're having trouble aligning the addresses on the envelop when you print, you have to use "Japanese Post Card" under "Page Layout" & "Size" and change it to Landscape so the area you're typing in is congruent with A2 envelope size.If you decide to get that HP printer I mentioned, you can order a 9,000 page yield toner at inkcartridges. 

I've found a deeper understanding of the deal occurs when I actually lay out the deal on excel myself rather just reading over them. 

Advantages I see: GCs don't have to waste their time helping me figure out what I want, waiting for permits, less worry for change orders, and easy bidding...which hopefully leads to less uncertainty overhead built into their bids, and a better value for me (along with the most optimized layouts).

In a house, the food source is often the drywall paper backing, or wood.

I wasn’t prepared for a rental, no matter how good it looked on paper.

@Brian Person The Loan Officer and Real Estate Agent told me the reason for the POA is that I'm currently working out of the country, so I will need someone to sign the closing papers, which was never mentioned on the foreclosure that will close this week.I didn't accept his underwriter's reason and have challenged him to get creative as you mentioned.
