Someone buried an old washing machine drum in the flower bed in front of the apartment -- redneck planter perhaps?  

If credit, it kind of is what it is... be ready to write a lot of offers, make sure the lender has given them some tips to improve their credit so they can look at conventional if it's 3+ months from now and you still haven't gotten an offer accepted, and in the meantime get back to drumming up more business.

@Rob Drum Thanks Rob!

So when the first people to respond to every thread about turnkey properties tends to have something very negative to say about it, that pushes the idea further towards the "overturned oil drum conveniently in our path of travel" level of risk. 

That said, the "old guy" is till trying to figure out how to use it and is guilty of piling too many things into the drum (despite the washer's ability to rebalance its load).

My 2015 goals *drum roll* (put here to hold myself more accountable) are to get my real estate license in January which would give me direct access to MLS and save cost on buying/ selling houses.Purchase 2 properties 1 as a buy and hold, and 1 as a flip.

At the time of purchase, Fort Drum was rapidly expanding and the entire area had a severe housing shortage.

Agents mostly drum up their own business, from sources including not limited to networking, relationships, romantic relationships, past clients, marketing, etc.

There's already plenty of hype about the residential and the Facebook poll is drumming up general interest in what's going on there.

@Victor Mercado I would listen to the advice on offer by @Rob Drum.
