Some areas are "dead" right now.

Hey wait, I remember under the last Administrations promises of tax returns on the back of a matchbook cover, and voluminous stacks (room fulls) of Federal papers being signatoried out of existence forever--by the ton.And now you say the IRS returns are HARDER; or are they just not fully fleshed out yet?

You learn how to put a toilet in, fix a leak, chane a door knob/dead bolt, resolve a hair ball plug in a sink trap-LOL. 

I've worked for the City for 3 years now and I have a list of neighborhoods I consider "Dead Zones" (no pun intended).

So I posted earlier about trying to evict some dead beat renters.

Imagine asking them for a discount on their dead parents home for your kids.

This gives a record of their conduct and in the event of trouble, past police reports will be very useful.So, in the worst case, when they find your dead, lifeless body, the Police will at least have "a person of interest."

You don't want stinking dead animals in the walls.

Within minutes I found one but he had been dead for 5 years!

There’s a substantial opportunity cost of money to leaving dead equity in a property when interest rates are so low and investments providing much better than 4% returns are plentiful.
