@Malcolm Lawson  - I wish I could give you a cookie cutter response.

I had a mentor when I started the land business and he had a cookie cutter system in place already I just plugged in.

Some of these chains are offering complete management of cookie cutter and uniform style apartments (with their $$ cut of course) ranging anywhere from 45,000 to 100,000 per unit.

2) The scout is outside the grocery store asking to buy cookies... and you don't have cash so you have to hit an ATM to get out a $20.00 bill with a $3.00 charge to buy a $4.00 box of cookies??

If I were to try to do this with a normal cookie cutter rental house, I doubt I would have as half as much bookings and probably a much lower price. 

The market is shifting.There once was a guy named "Famous Amos" who made great cookies.

We don't have to do cookie cutter rehabs with the same low cost Home depot sku's.2.

Originally posted by Jose Paradas: we are currently buying properties at the foreclosure steps in Orange county Fl and Osceola county and flip them, right now we are interested in single family residential properties, we mange about $800000 but not at one time due to possible current deals that have not close, we are currently available about 200000 Jose, if you're going to discuss deals they need to go in the market place.Nice portfolio, the float is a killer for note buyers, money in a cookie jar almost. :)

Get your first deal on the books then try to make all your next few deals as cookie cutter events of the first.

If the neighborhood looks too cookie cutter, cramped, across from a trainyard, busy street etc I eliminated it right away.
