When will it end and we stop the banks from this highway robbery of their own country??

Fortunately, the rents versus purchase price still exceed the 1% rule, but the returns won't quite match the initial proforma which was outstanding. 

@June Veenstra Hey June,  I am in contract to buy a 4-unit building in Union City, just working with the city to resolve some outstanding violations, etc.

Next step would be to make sure the subdivision plat was finalized with the local  planning dept. and check for any outstanding money owed.Are your lots in Conyers?

It was only only one lane in each direction, so I wouldn't call it a highway, just a numbered state roadOn the east side, properties were valued appreciably higher, even if they were a mile or more from the ocean. 

Using your sources, I've determined that there is a tax lien on the property (reason for sheriff sale), but I'm having trouble determining if their is an outstanding mortgage.

I know I don't mess with signs anymore.One guy here used to do the telephone pole thing also and would attach pinwheels to each side of the sign to draw attention to it.To answer the other posters question about legality.No the bandit signs aren't legal because the city and counties want their money plus they say it junks up an area.Not putting in the city limits helps because county code enforcement is usually stretched much thinner than the city.I use to put at major highways on end of the exit ramps.I would buy the stand and the yellow signs for a total of about 1.43 together.I would drive and pick up the signs as they get you on shipping and then hand write out with black marker.You need a king permanent black marker so the message doesn't streak if it rains outside.Here is a guy that does a lot of them and tests and tracks the results.http://www.uglyyellowsignmastery.com/blog/

Hello BP experts,I am just getting started with my real estate investing and I wanted to know if lenders would allow putting down less than 20-25% down on a rental single family home, knowing the following- The person has excellent credit (FICO > 780)- No outstanding debt- Has a good salary and a history of stable full-time job. 

Just to give you an idea of the commute, it took him an hour to drive from the highway 76 off of the 15 freeway to the intersection of Thomson and Winchester Rd in Winchester, CA (aka French Valley).

The rate of job and population growth there is outstanding.
