I walked into a large real estate owners office once right before thanksgiving.. this guy owned about 200 SFR's in Portland value then probably 150k a door  this was mid 90s today easy 350 to 400k a door..

Kevin Harris from Keller Williams-West Hartford office.

Just purchased a completely vacant 3 story, 23K sq foot retail/office building on the edge of a decent downtown area in a medium sized city.We are going to rehab the whole thing but still undecided about an elevator.

I went back to the Local Tax Collector and after a half hour of research and phone calls, it appears that when the original ONE parcel was subdivided into THREE parcels 29 years ago, the property owner never recorded the deeds with the Bergen County Clerk (which was in violation of the terms with the town who approved the subdivision: "the Developer agrees to promptly record the Deed in the Bergen County Clerk's Office.").

A bank where you walk in and talk to Senior people if not the bank president and the head credit officer. 

Most of the things they will have will be on payments or relatively worthless.I don't think this is a good way to conduct business for either side of the transaction.Possibly in a Commercial or Office setting, but not residential.Poor people rent.

Check traffic times between your office and different areas.

But if you need a business address set up a virtual office with Worksuites.

I'm in this business to own property, not to manage it :)Our office managers, however - very much encouraged.

@Jay HinrichsJay, in your institutional memory, was there ever a time when US homebuyers or a segment of them didn't try to buy, as a default, the very largest and most expensive primary residence a loan officer told them they could afford?
