If multiple offers on the table, clean and simple, even at potentially lower price, will often win the bid.

Too me all I could think of when those auctions are on tv, is Vegas at the craps table.

I have a home which will be furnished, will have cable, will have wifi, pool table, TVs, free access to walk about a nearly 40 acre estate (horses allowed/archery hunting allowed), city park with walking paths, playground, skateboard park, soccer fields, brand new recreation center (all within walking distance).

You don't see 15/5 very often in CA (those lenders go out of business) and you don't see 12/2 very often in Atlanta, as those lenders don't want to leave money on the table.

That's on the table as well.So there you have it.

I don't know why escrow could close if they did not have the trustee's deed on the table.

I'm not too concerned about water, lake front on Table Rock Lake, on the White River main channel, with a good well too.Your animal ranch is too labor intensive for me, a guy down by the lake grows rabbits and chickens, a strange prepper type that thinks everyday will be the last, uses a 1/4 tank of gas and tops it off.

I suspect investors there are seeing that and so maybe they are taking some chips off the table and putting them into real estate.

Which we don't use to live on.The rentals and equity pay for our next projects.Everyone is different, we invest for future not for food on table.

im with John on investing in college towns though because its important to have schools,jobs hospitals and something about the area interesting like here are some examples. a nearby water feature like beach,ocean,port,major river,lake mountain w skiing, or mild climate.
