I have a studio unit in Waikiki, which is a block and a half away from the famous Waikiki beach, Hawaii.

remember...even though its a few blocks away. some area codes work and some don't (in my expeience)knowing more always helps!

every area is differentand in my experience real estate is all LOCALi have find great properties that work..but bad properties only a few block away that don't work. your knowledge in area is a big plus...as for lender or buying whole in cash. i have to say.. do what is right for you. don't listen to others about lenders or banks. its all with the individual.... if you don't feel comfortable...buy all in cash. as for me...i like to leverage since its a form of asset protection and great return for your money. thankssunsmicro

Someday I should write a listOf all the deals that I have missed;Bonanzas that were in my grip—I watched them through my fingers slip;The windfalls which I should haveWere lost because I overthoughtI thought of this, I thought of that,I could have sworn I smelled a rat,And while I thought things over twice,Another grabbed them at the price.It seems I always hesitate,Then make up my mind much too late.A very cautious man am IAnd that is why I wait to buy.When tracks rose high on Sixthand Third,The price asked was, I felt absurd;Those apartment blocks—blackWere priced a thirty bucks a-foot!

I'll also add that my spouse is very handy and the property is one block from us.I guess my question is, is it ok to start out this way?

The property is sold "As Is" condition and zoning.The application of a professional auction goes far beyong talking fast on the block.

i'm not sure of the rules either but this might get blocked out.

That way doing even one flip gets you off the starting block.

I.e. someone gives you a phone number and the website can tell you the address associated with that phone number.Obviously there are a lot of problems with certain types of numbers (cell phones and blocked numbers often produce no results).

When sending post cards to people in foreclosure, should you send to everyone on the block?
