I am personally buying a lot in Casa Grande, Arizona.

Over the phone (because I was on vacation), I called him and told him he needed to return everything or I would file grand larceny charges.  

I still have that house and it rents for a grand these days. my first house was late 70s that I bought  in those days it was 80 10 and 10  you need 10% cash and normally a private HML would give you the 10% second and bank was the first.. interest on the first was 9% second was 15%.. this was before the Carter interest rate run up.. paid 80k for it in Milpitas CA.. and it was brand new bought it from Shapel .

@Philip Beckwith,  Since this last post is only 5 months old and you are in Grand Rapids like me, have you had any follow up/results / success since this last post reply? 

Relatively small amounts of interest income ($1600+ per year) is the highest taxed form of income I have found if you have kids at home.After earning a few grand in interest, It takes away my child tax credits and gives me an effective tax rate of 70%.   

$1000 per door is a grand slam out the parking lot home run!

I like the tub (it wasn't cheap, about 12 grand) but there's not great service options where I live and not sure if I would get it again since I mostly have to take care of it. 

I have studied things and I feel I would only make maybe an extra grand a year and frankly I don't want to squeeze every last time out of people coming for vacation.Most of our guests are regular people.

County earned $75 grand on that one.
