But I managed to position myself with a few non rent controlled condos, and having those in this city is basically like printing money.

I thought i'd pass along my experience so others could learn.In my instance they had many liens for the city boarding up the house, mowing the yard, back property taxes etc.Moral to the story is to follow up and make sure the liens get removed.

When you compared my city to So Cal I was surprised.

Wish we had a 3 day pay or quit in Baltimore City.

First the investor(owner) of your loan must participate in HAFA, not just the servicer (B of A, Wells, Citi, etc.).

I miss Big City Burrito there in Fort Collins.

Are there a lot of vacant homes/units in the city?

Call (or go into their office) the City Planner or County Planner or Google "City of _____ Zoning Map" and you can usually figure it out that way.
