It is a case by case analysis.Agreed that each case has many factors and those factors each play a role in the final outcome.

I would certainly give the tenant the trash and tell them that this can NOT occur in the future.

The majority of the mortgage resets for the gimmick loans are occurring now and will show up in huge numbers of foreclosures in the near term.

I learned, via fines notices from the City of Buffalo, that the concrete driveway was completely torn up and covered with plywood (this occurred after a repair to sewer line completed by Chris right after closing...which, to his credit, he paid for - but seemingly did not complete).

Since I am on the commercial real estate side of things certain things are occurring now.

Along with that the county or city government websites might give you insight into developments that are occurring , etcCitydata forums is also another great tool you can ask questions about an area and get answers from people that live in the city .

This has occurred before and all past attempts to elicit action from the "neighbour" have been unfruitful.

I also feel I have a different approach than most, I genuinely look for and expect the worst so I am prepared for this outcome and when my predictions are wrong it is usually to the better and it makes the tasks go much smoother because they were planned with a worst case scenario.I work a full time job that usually is easily a 50+ hour workweek and then do my real estate business outside of that as well as maintain time for my young son amd wife.

I guess if you have the kind of relationship with the active partner such that they are okay with a) not having title and b) not getting paid until the end, when the sale occurs, then that is black and white different from PML.

Appreciation will occur as rents increase.I am assuming that contracts are signed for a year and these rates are paid 12 months a year.
