Without firm procedures you don't have much of a leg to stand on.Of course my kid wouldn't steal from me.We all wish this to be true. 

And do the leg work with some banks/credit unions/finance options to see what it would really take to get into the asset you want.

Looking to start with Orange Park, Fleming Island and Green Cove Springs area. 

hey more power too you ... and comparing a condo on the beach to any house any where is apples to oranges.

It was thrown out before it grew legs, The judge apparently didn't agree with listing your phone number for a rental and then expecting people to "NOT" call.My case my be isolated, but thats my experience......I like Clint's idea a lot and I plan on doing that next go around.

Anybody from Orange County or the surrounding areas out there?

We might even bounce (dead-cat) small for a little bit.The next BIG leg down starts in the fall where $135-140/barrel crude really starts taking it's toll and the wide-spread job losses start occuring coupled with possible reduction in mortgage purchases by the GSE's (freddie & fannie) and the fed bumping rates up a tad to support the weak dollar.

The project is called "The Village of Imagine" and includes the Westin Grande Imagine Hotel located across from the Orange County Convention Center in Orlando, Fl.

I don't mean to be pessimistic but the only way I can buy a decent home and get it moved and set up to rent for $7000 is by doing all the leg work and a good deal of the physical hookup and skirting personally.

Meanwhile, your expertise also gives you a leg up on many investors, because you know how to get fast info regarding home ownership and other title work that can be helpful in real estate investing, such as probate search, foreclosure search, etc.
