He said no, and now has 20 locations that do @ $5mm per store, per year.

Owned a Hardware Store

I'd say using Japan as a model might be the best approximation for what we have in store, and I don't see the housing market turning around any time in the next few years.

The bank will always give you the run around I've faxed the same documetation 5 or 6 times to the loss mitigation department and they always say they don't have it.

The local building department wanted a gate in the fence.

That will expose you to P&Z departments, Nimbys, attorney's fees, drainage reviews, site development bids, etc etc etc.

The city had told me to simply put holes in the bottom of the pool and cave it in,,,however the house is now vacant and a fence section fell down, now the city is involved in the house, the Environmental Department wants every bit of concrete removed when the pool is taken out (additional cost about $5k which I hadn't budgeted.If I decide to walk away because of this, the house will go into foreclosure, the city has told me they will go in and have the pool removed (and I'm sure they willl end up spending a lot more than I would),,and put a lien against it.Common sense would say they would come down a few thousand to help me with the cost they caused by taking over 2 months to give an approval,,but I doubt they will, the house will be vacant, the city will put a lien against it, and the bank will end up getting substancially less than they will if they sell to me, but thats probable what's going to happen (at the same time short sales can be super deals, if they work out)andy
