I created a Marked Scatter Chart in excel: housing price on the y-axis and square footage on the x-axis.

I have many of contacts for wholesale real estate inventory that have double digit returns, alot of turn key stuff scattered around U.S. how far out of your back yard are you willing to invest?

So I'm trying *really* hard to analyze multiple deals per day, just so I can A) get comfortable doing it, and 2) get familiar with my market area.But I've got information scattered all over the place - spreadsheets, notepads, Google Keep on my phone, etc.

I may be a bit scattered for some investors.

Having 100 units in one location seems better than 100 units scatter all over the map.

I don't add this information on the For Rent sign (signs I've seen that do this don't have much room for the information on number of bedrooms/baths and the rent anyway so the information is quite small).If you wish you can always add on a brochure box to your sign where interested parties can take a copy of an ad describing the rental in more detail (and hope that these papers don't get scattered around the yard).I do a voice mail to my phone telling folks if they're calling about the rental it's so many bedrooms, so many bathroom, the rent and security deposit is such and such and if they'd like more information on the property please leave their name and number and I'll get back with them very soon.Gail

Joel, I currently live in trinity and most of my rental portfolio is scattered around new port richey.

Some doubles, a few four family. a few 5+ are scattered about in those areas.

It's easy to see that foreclosures are more heavily massed in a few areas rather than scattered evenly around the entire country.Historically, in Central Oregon, the very few foreclosures simply get listed with a broker and sell for full market value.

- the home was definetly vacant, there was no furniture, no heat turned on and there were a few scattered items around the home, looks like someone left quickly. - the realtor said someone was living there, but i seriously doubt it.- we our interested in the home but it will definetly require some remodeling.- the realtor made us sign a letter stating if we purcshed this home, she would be the only realtor that we could go through before she would show us the place.Obviously i will need to have a professional inspection done.We are able to put down %20 on a home purchase and our max price range is about $340K. with the kitchen needing a FULL remodel and some bathrooms too if we paid the pre-forclosed price and done the remodel we would hit our budget limit.So after reading some healpfull hints on this site im still in doubt on how to proceed.do i hire an real estate attorney to check all everthing on the home or do i just go through the realtor for all paper work?
