One thing about the areas that you're looking at is that there are some very strong, sophisticated players that you'll be going up against.

What we have here are T-Ball players trying to play in the major leagues, you have a lot to learn before playing hard ball.Felix, as to your question about General Real Estate Academy, I'm not violating the policies of BP as to advertising about the training there, it's not a solicitation, but to answer the question and the implications.  

Then again, when a tenant resorts to yelling at their landlord, they are crossing the line too, IMHO.

i don't know but I will chime in and say avoid Resort Lock.

Trying to modify the players to fit your goal is inviting fraud into your world.

Since I'm not a big enough investor to buy 20-30 properties at a time, I've had to resort to this tactic when the deal is right.If you're wanting to do a prelim title search, your title person can do a quick search for very little time and money (maybe even no charge if you're a repeat customer).Since I'm not an attorney, here's what my interpretation is.

I would only add that while they are the majority player, Fannie/Freddie aren't the ONLY secondary market out there.

If you want an image of a big player, dealing in multiple strategies or areas, you have departments.

In the Atlanta market, Craigslist is a last resort resource (if it is even considered).

Improving the comfort and efficiency of the building is part of the deal.That said, the bigger players in our area are not quite there yet - most still seem to operate under the mode of "unload utilities on tenants" to improve the bottom line.
