We as investors should be thankful we can think for ourselves and invest to have more control over our own future.

we have this in my town also $65 a year and they do an outside inspection onlyit is total crap and just another way to soak us "rich " landlords,,, if they were truly concerned about rental up keep they dont need a yearly inspection for that code inforcement officers go around marking up fines all day long on any house especially bank owned vacant houses they know it will have to be paid by the bank before it can sell

There's just not enough control for my liking.Can you get the owner to do a subject to?

Did you get to a point where leveraging had you strait-jacketed, because the lenders had too much control over your activity?

Randal Your not going to like my input buy just the same...Yea in theory the deal you want can and I'm sure does occur, however so many things are out of your control and can back fire.I like cut and dry, I don't like the idea of messing with someones life as someone ties their deed up offering a solution that may or may not work out for them.

Keep copies.Complain to the townhouse association, and the local animal control.

It's hard to say how the "elite" (people who control central banks) will be able to pitch us on merging everything.

I'd like to have a peek at that; I spend quite a bit of time in those mountains and climbing at Alabama Hills; really dig the little town!

If you are satisfied earning 8% compomuded over the next 30 years(hopefully you have that much time to leave your money alone) then invest in equities and hopefully when it comes time that you need to pull some of your gains to supplement your income you dont hit a 2008 becuase then your 8% turns into about 5-6%(great advice). stick with what I'm saying and you will be fine Fertile. invest in yourself, educate yourself in what you are interested in. and hopefully what your interested in, you can control such as real estate, your own business,selling shares of your own company or your own offering, etc. you are an outsider looking in if you throw your 500 bucks into a fortune 500 company and by no means do you have any control whatsoever.

I don't know if you are in the same town but I think showing up face to face will get some get results
