Dozens are dead, in what reads like something out of the developing world: very large party, fire starts, lights go out, few exits or exit signs, lots of mourning, sadness, anger, and finger-pointing.Relevant to us...Murder convictions rare for owners or landlords of deadly sitesThe events leading up to this weekend’s horrific Oakland warehouse fire appear to have been rife with warning signals.

Hi all,I recently read rich dad, found bigger pockets, listened to podcasts... and wanted to get into RE. doing a little research, it would appear that my timing is off as usual.

I think I can get it for $20,000 to $27,000 (either # appears to still make for a good ARV)I plan on putting in at least $30,000 (I have more I can allocate if I run into unforeseen problems) into the property ( both purchase and rehab will be with cash no financing)I believe that after what I envision for the property, after rehab ( possibly adding another bath) and comps, it can bring conservatively $75,000, I think more but think I will stay conservative.I personally feel that the numbers make sense to pull the trigger and generally feel RE is a good investment no matter what.

Really improved the appearance of our home.

But it appears their dog is digging up the year.
