P NW:I like your statement and agree that work should be valuable to the employer.As such, my general question is when employees require "give" due to family or other circumstances does the relationship seem skewed?

Bill - Thanks for the valuable feedback.

That makes sense...So after all the paper work is done, a police officer will be assigned to come to your property and supervise an eviction where the landlord or a moving company will physically remove the tenant's belongings, and escort the individuals from the premises.I see this process hurting the landlord because of lost rent with the non paying tenant, as well as any damage caused.Thanks for the valuable insight!

Stay active in the forums and you will pick up valuable education.

I've been reading this forum for years and I learn something new and valuable each time I log on.

Also, someone that has been in a property for over two decades and is willing to sell at this steep a discount should pose a flag.There are very few reasons why any rational person would undersell their most valuable asset at such a dip in the market?

This is a great discussion with many valuable insights.However, Jaden's comment is, IMHO, the most important.The 70% will not protect you in this market.

While I really enjoy working with realtors and real estate attorneys, I am looking forward to understanding the mindset of investors in determining whether or not a property is a good buy.I probably won't be posting very much unless I have something valuable to add.

As much as I like BP for the valuable real estate insight is provides I would hardly call it a representitive sample of a cross section of America.
