I've noticed this often and marveled at it.

Most HUD Brokerages deal with "extended" contracts and investors, as well as owner occupants.The "extended" properties can be purchased by investors.There is some marvelous information offered above... and we do these types of deals all the time.

This marvelously written post should answer all of your questions!

some paint, nice fixtures, colorful drapes, neat homes with a decent landscape do the trick, not some stupid RE agent saying, "look at this marvelous kitchen."

The Internet is a marvelous tool - - enter the right search terms and you can find almost anything.

I can make a profit and or loss look marvelous.

I have no advice other than to marvel that I think everyone has lived in a place with those cabinets at least once in their lives.

Sleeping on the couch is never ideal - regardless of ROI.Having said that; I think you are already doing a marvelous job at garnering spousal support.

I marvel when I see some of the members with 5000 posts.

My biggest pet peeves when I see other rentals (but also love to see it because it makes mine look marvelous) is there is no continuity in paint, lighting and/or flooring.
