I've been trying to deconstruct the LLC beast and need some clarification on a few aspects of my situation.  

The barrier is not technological capability - there are 10s of thousands such buildings in Europe {search on Passivhaus} - but lack of will (economic and political).Equally important, and potentially more difficult problem to solve, is retrofitting of existing building stock to achieve significant energy use reductions in a cost effective manner.  

The next step for me is to network; I figure I'll learn best from real stories, situations, and maybe most importantly, local market experience.

Hello folks, I am in the same situation as Kay.

I'm a fairly patient person so I generally don't mind waiting unless it is very difficult to find properties using 10% COC (with 25% down) criteria.  

I only buy after they;ve gone through foreclosure.I'd never build a nice site built home in a crummy neighborhood unless its some freak situation outside San Francisco where in a few years the junkers will be torn down and $1M (small) homes will be built.  

Hey everyone,I wanted to see what everyone thought the most difficult part of an eviction was for them.

We had an interesting situation come up and I wanted to get some advice from the BP community.

Interestingly, look at everybody jumping to the tenant's defense on the Portland news site KGW and blaming the situation on the landlord.http://www.kgw.com/news/tenants-leave-behind-25-tons-of-trash-at-portland-rental-home/177131842

There are websites like Rocket Lawyer or Legal Zoom where you can communicate with an attorney for a very nominal fee about your specific situation.
