@Marc Rice That was my concern too, which is why I mentioned the potential of subdividing out those parcels first as part of the deal, so that they are not encumbered.

Almost any paint these days can be tinted to match a paint color from any paint manufacturer (some "designer" paints are the exception to this), so focus on finding a color that you like.Sherwin Williams paint colors "rice grain" (near white, subtle hints of green - color of uncooked rice) and "softer tan" look nice (we actually had the Behr paint used by the painter, tinted to those colors).

Hi @Bryan Rice, It depends on your market and how much capital you have starting out.

Is anyone familiar with Fountainebleau Terrace Condos in Panama City Beach, Florida?

I have a property i am looking at in the Rolling hills Subdivision / Royal terrace drive - Wondered if someone could share some opinions on the area,How's the rental market?

Before owners drop prices there they would grow rice and beans again ;-) Besides it's one of the areas with the highest crime rate.

@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.
