i have a bank foreclosure right by me the house was built in 2000 very nice house its around houses priced well above 200k they have it priced at 149k and the bank bought it at the sheriff sale for 114k so i was wondering if the 149k price would be negotiable or do you think they are going to be pretty firm on it? also i have someone who is willing to work out a contract to just rent or a rent to own and they are able to pay over 1000 a month rent who may be interested in this so i was wondering if this would be a good or bad idea to try and get this house then work out a deal with them figure that way they would be paying the house off for me any input would be appreciated thanks

i am trying to start out and want to know what type of town i should be looking in for rental property? the houses around me are around the 200,000 price range which seems too high to buy for rentals so what type of town do i need to look in? what should be a good price range to try and stay around for buying rental properties thanks in advance

I am new to this and wanting to buy my first rental house, there is a foreclosed house close to me that is in a great location within walking distance to most places, similar houses rent for 750-800 a month the house i looked at is 60,000 i looked at the last time this house sold which was in 2006 for 131,300 its a 3bd 1 ba with a .35 acre lot (which is big for being right in town) i figured that i wont need to put more then 15,000 into it, So does this sound like a good deal? What other numbers do i need to look at? What type of offer would you put in on it? thanks

I have a couple asking me if i can help them find some land atleast 50 acres that is at a good deal i have looked every way i know and any foreclosed things i have seen have just been single family homes in the city or something along those lines and not close to the acreage that they want, so my question is where should i look or what do i need to do to find these properties? thanks in advance

im new to the real esate investing and have really been looking to get some rental properties ive seen a couple that i liked but was wondering what was best. i can buy 2 or maybe 3 houses in a not so good neighborhood where i know there are alot of people looking for houses to rent but you might not get too many well qualified to choose from or buy 1 in a nice neighborhood where there are more qualified people but you lose out on an extra little income by only having the 1 house compared to the 2 or 3
