@Marc Rice Thanks Mark!

Go to www.TRUSTETC.comBy the book from Amazon written by Patrick Rice called "IRA wealth"Then go to CPAs and offered to do a self-directed IRAs presentation, many times custodians will help you with the presentationIn my presentations I generally talk about what are all your choices are to get a good rate of return for your retirementThe stock market just lost a lot of value recentlyTalk about the debacles of WorldCom, and wrong, and Bernie Madoff.Then talk about the rule of 72 which means how long it takes a set amount of money to double overtimeNote: This does take some time to develop but once you have private lenders that create so if directed IRAs for a good ride return such as 6 to 10%, at your disposal you have a lot of choices especially in cheap markets

Hey,Yeah credit issue plus rices but yeah credit definetley.

I also do agree that sometimes, the closest areas do not perform the best, however I would reccommend looking into the "Tech Terrace" and "Medical District"(79410) area of Lubbock.

I didn't add very much value to this deal other than building the terrace, and stairs in the front yard.

Tuscany village part of greenways, colonies and hillside terrace.

Appliances and Electronic Devices: Unplug any items when finished using (hot water kettle, rice cooker, computer, etc.).15.

@William GanYour initial inclination of reducing your cost of shelter by "Investing" in a property where you want to live is one of the holy grail rules I have for ANYONE in NYC, whether or not you have an opposition such as risk tolerance to Investing.I have known MANY friend and Family members who never bought their homes, became priced out of the Market, many have simply moved to lower cost of living areas such as Florida.The problem is that they can NEVER move back.I really like giving real world examples.My Aunt purchased her home close to Prospect Park in Windsor Terrace in 1994 for $140k.Prices didn't go very far for a while, BUT..

Recently it seems it has been relatively challenging to identify properties with positive cash flow.Narrowed down areas between Houston TX (The Heights, Rice Military) and Orlando FL (maybe Winter Park).

@Doron Rice....thanks, will keep all that in mind if/when i get to the inspection stage.
