Thanks.. just was curious what criteria HM companies typically are looking for. I know you do/did make some loans so was looking for your expertise. I get that it depends on the specific company. And, thanks for the watchdog warning! I'm sure these type of companies prey people new to the business.

Agree. I'm pretty good at sniffing out info, but this search engine could use a better algorithm. Or I need to rethink how I search! I was turning up info from years ago. The market out West has changed significantly in that time frame so hence asked again. 

Anyway, I saw that you wholesale, do contractor work and rehab.. busy guy.

Thanks Anthony. I've done a bunch of searches using South Bend as the term but after a few pages decided to ask.. for more current information that what I was finding from several years ago. I will check out the reference thread.

Can you put up a 3 foot fence to split the yard between the two properties? Is there a fence around the main parameter? I'm assuming you're the owner.. 

... me?  

South Bend is a relatively small city and I'm wondering how competitive it is there for investors. Any guesses or actual stats?  

Thanks!

Hello South Bend!

I've been looking at the South Bend market and actually thinking of moving there to invest. I have a ton of family between SB and Niles. :) So, I feel comfortable going to that OOS market. (I'm a newbie). 

RE: Properties under $25k purchase price

What I don't understand is looking at super low priced properties that (when I Google map walk them) don't look like they are particularly "bad" neighborhoods even though they supposedly are in higher crime areas. No bars on the windows, yards are basically well kept, not a lot of junk laying around. And they just sit on the market for months. They clearly need fix up, but what gives?

Thanks and happy to hear from anyone of course!
