Then buyer who may want a wooded lot has trees, if buyer not want, then we can cut for them then.We will add the value of the lumber on the lot sale price as wooded lots here are diferent and thus more valuable for the folks who want that product.hope this helps,DeI was going to mention pushing over the tree's to pop out the root ball  that is far cheaper way to go.. out on the West coast FIr is far more valuable than hardwood.. hardwood is darn near a weed.. 

Maintenance requests are easy to track and AppFolio has a set of questions to weed out emergency vs. non emergency work orders.

Fed induced recession causing home price deflation does not equal crash or collapse. when home owners are not over leveraged, have cash reserves, and have income then home price deflation isn't a problem as home owners are not at risk of default. a recession could be resetting over valuation as a home price correction. corrections in the housing market are usually about 10% but they could be more without causing a crash or collapse with massive default. no different price corrections on wall street to weed out over valuation and over leverage to reset or normalize asset pricing which does not equal crash or collapse necessarily.

All the while family isn't helping even when they can and the tenant isn't helping themselves because they still buy smokes/weed but hey the landlord should absorb that cost?  

Plus, once the lender forecloses your equitable position will probably be wiped off, putting you back to square one.Yes, it is possible to purchase some lienhold positions, including judgments, but it's very cumbersome way to acquire title.Therefore, I'd put your effort into securing access and keeping the weeds clear to deflect attention. 

This makes it easier for them to weed themselves out.I generally post the ad, and within 24 hours I may have 20+ applicants.

If you knew half as much as you seem to claim, why couldn't you have a conversation with these agents and weed the bad ones out or find a way to locate good ones.

I definitely agree that I need to due my own due diligence regardless, but of course we all want to weed out the duds as much as possible before getting to that point.I appreciate your advice to get on the buyer lists through the local REIA and other investors.
