Reply #134: If you give someone something

they almost always don't appreciate it. Having been around real estate for years, uncaring people can do far, Far, FAR more damage to a house than sitting empty, in a fraction of the time. I've seen it. They can't afford the house to begin with. They can't afford utilities, they defecate in the bath tub, burn the wood work in the fireplace, and cook over a small charcoal makeshift grill in the kitchen sink....no, not in a million would I be allowing my investment to be occupied by the homeless and neither would you if you are smart.
