They hold the key to fixing the housing market, but seem to keep waiting for a silver bullet out of Wash DC.

Most believe in RE, gold, silver, cash, food etc, as do I.

People who have to start from scratch have to be more creative than those with a silver spoon...

There is no silver bullet, and it takes money to generate enough leads to find deals before they hit the MLS.Where is the best place to find investors?

I would argue that real estate and commodities such as gold/silver have outpaced "inflation" as defined by CPI and soon to be defined by Chain CPI.

You could invest in silver it's way under valued.

Try areas like Bowie, Laurel, Silver Spring, etc.

Inside city limits will avoid septic tanks and HOAs... but at our discussed price points won't be in very nice area.Kind of like the mechanic who says "Good, Fast and Cheap...pick any two".One thought that might work for you... around Silver Springs the local government has a program to convert over 800 homes from well/septic to water/sewer, to protect the spring-head from groundwater and runoff pollution.Maybe look for houses within that map that are on well and septic, then apply to have it converted at no cost to you...David

There is no silver bullet (if there were, I guess everyone would be rich) but there are steps you can take to help you make an informed decision.What I recommend is to do at least a 5-year (and preferably a 10-year) pro forma projection of scheduled income, vacancy and credit loss allowance, and operating expenses.
