Aloha,NO SMOKING!

They also don't want to smell smoke all summer and have to run a hepa filter in their house to have decent air to breath.

I once called a Popeye's Chicken and asked the employee to walk down the road to knock on a seller's door because the seller had went dark on me.

I know the experts here on BP will be able to tell me if I'm smoking some funny stuff.The idea is; why not do a lease option for these very same sellers?

So yes sometimes it no problem to wait 2 years to get a smoking deal.your team in Indy I know personally they are all quality people.. so congrats and here's to doing bigger deals as you grow your business.

(Note I don't ask whether, I ask how many)Do you smoke indoors or outdoors?

For a criminal to shoot or rob someone at a motel would not only be risky, but would totally prevent a clean getaway, as there is pretty much always a random guests who also happens to be smoking or walking outside who can see things.

Bellingham's housing market is SMOKING STEAMING INCANDESCENT ABOUT TO ACHIEVE NUCLEAR FUSION HOT with housing prices jumping 11%...LAST MONTH.  

And this using a 203K FHA loan in the brutal market of Boston, on the east side of the Port Norfolk bay area.Facts & Numbers:2 beds & 2 baths on each of the 3 unitsPurchased for $655K @ 5% down-payment and a generous dose of 203K closing feesTaken a 30K cushion for the 203K streamlined rehabLocked in 4.25% @ 30 year interest rateAppraised at 750KThe numbers are certainly not the exquisite definition of what a ground-breaking deal stands for, but they certainly fare decently well in this seller's market where cash investors rule, the inventory is constantly challenged and most properties are getting sold for over asking price, taking advantage of the current interest rates, the Everett Casino construction, and a few other speculative but pragmatic plays.Just like most everyone else that was not raised or surrounded by real estate professionals from a young age, this deal was pretty much riddled with small mistakes here and there, from neglecting the fire department smoke and carbon detector regulations, being over-optimistic on the underwriting guidelines, underestimating the cost opportunity due to all sorts of processing delays, and you name it.Currently free from tenants, the expectation is to add value by rehabilitating the under-developed basement, adding 2nd and 3rd floor balcony decks, and a variety of practical and aesthetic fixes.

I have been a real Broker in Southern California since 2003 and I can tell you first hand that prices here just do not pencil, unless you can find a REALLY SMOKING DEAL.
