There are as many ways to make money in real estate as there are patterns in snowflakes so if one doesn't match your personality find one that does.

I purchased one off the MLS that fit that rule but I saw the pattern in that the owner was dropping the price 10% every two weeks so I knew they were desperate to sell the property and they took the low ball offer.

Anyone with a good knowledge of History (especially Cultural Anthropology) will be able to predict future patterns of human behavior based upon past human behavior.

Listen to see who invests based on decades of patterns and who invests based on a market anamoly from 2000-2005.

Pay attention to the diameter of the toilet flush valve, the bigger the better.Since you are re-doing the bath, I would not consider anything but tile.

I am thinking hard about it, from my first walk through it looks like a lot of cosmetic i.e sheet rock tile carpet rehabbing..... although the survey is to come....

My ratios were screwed up for a couple of months (and my sleep pattern) but within 45 days I had sold one and gotten all my money out of it and gotten back to where I was actively looking again.frank

I saw recycled floor tile too,,,costs over 10 bucks a square foot when regular tile is at most 2-3.

Is remodeling allowed--replacing carpet with tile, new cupboards, ceiling repair, updating a bath, for instance?

The Filings have showed a pattern of a month increase and a 2 month decrease followed by another increase.
