Sam referencing the correlation between older homes and vacancy rates was very helpful in convincing my boss to take a second look at my plan for a row of homes that include a recent eviction, a recent force-out and an abandoned home which we should have possession of shortly.<\/p>\n<p>Thanks for your hard work!<\/p>\n<p>(<i><b>Editor&#39;s Note<\/b><\/i>, the writer &ndash; who is known to us personally &ndash; requested the following &#8211; &ldquo;Feel free to publish my comments anonymously on this one.
