It's very refreshing to hear the details, even the specific details, of how deals went wrong.

I tried to click on a thread that said somehting about 7 foreclosed apartment complexes, and all it did was refresh the forums page.

Its a very refreshing find and I've already found some of the info to be extremely valuable in getting some bearings on strategies and plans to get into the real estate game.

I'm refreshing now and soaking up what I can.

Have refreshments and show upgrades and before and after pictures.Everyone is interested in what you have done to the home and it's the realtors job to promote it.

GrahamPS: Wonder what Yoroshiku means.... well it's Japanese for "How do you do?"

I'm looking at that house as our primary residence but after reading over some of the posts on this board I've decided that we could also get into buying and selling property, florida has a growing economy, especially in my area and it's continuing to grow as new business (2 more japanese shipping companies, cruise lines and more new airlines) move into the area. that combined with baby boomers retiring and looking to move to milder climates.

I started with Brandon's free "The Ultimate Beginners Guide to Real Estate Investing" to get a refresher and overview.

If I didn’t have a lot of money I’d put aside absolutely as much as possible into a high interest savings account each month and save up a down payment for a 3.5% FHA down payment on a house I could refresh a bit, but not too much in about two or three years then turn into a rental while I saved up another down payment for my next two to three year live in then turn into a rental home and keep doing it.

If you want to move it prior to a final “refresh” pre-listing then do it then.
