We know the fed is pushing down rates to spur the market.

As to the rate I don't know what the assessment is currently, @Steven Hamilton II just computed it above.If rates were that's what a 5yr CD was at that time I'd think you'd be safe as it would be above fed rate.And, that makes sense too. :)

The grass gets long and there's an oil spot in the driveway etc can really turn some folks inside out.

It's being fed by postlets containing the Utah address, so it's not a technical problem.

Federal PAcific was based out of NJ and jsut my luck just about every house I bought had fed pacific stab lock breakers and I had to change them out.They were based in Newark NJ.

The lease (single family house) states that the tenant is responsible for "maintaining the grounds, i.e. grass mowing and snow ploughing".

In 8th grade I finally got fed up with it and one time when I got picked on I picked up a "big wheel" (remember those) and threw it at the guy's head.

It might take me more RE, but I end up making the same living as the section 8 guys who buy at a fraction of what I do but have to deal with the fed and local government more than I do.

<<The problem with moving to another earth is that first the entitled masses would follow, then congress would follow, then the Fed would follow, then all the companies 'too big to fail' would follow, then the contingency attorneys would follow, then the social engineers would follow, and then by golly Obama himself would follow to bring us all change for the better!

If you are hooked up with the carpet cleaner that the local landlords use, he will know who is losing their property, who has too many vacancies, and who is fed up with tenant damage and eager to get out of the business.The guy I use cleans for many of the local landlords and also does a lot of carpets for the banks on their foreclosures.
