You'll find that dudes (yes, it's always dudes) build homemade bars and shelves to attach to walls for drinks.

Is selling home made arts and crafts on Etsy or Ebay a home business?  

Only one of them has the real stash at 4' deep below one random one  junk car part....a home made PVC pipe/sealed container.

Last fall I bought a nice duplex close to home, made an aggessive offer in a competitive market and it happened to work out with the motivated sellers.

One tenant made home-made divisions in the living room and is renting that living room and the other bedroom to people we don't know.

We're selling our Cali home, made an offer on a Maui home and plan on moving in the next 2 months.

My first suggestion is to join a local real estate investors association, just google and ad your city, so you can find a mentor or partner who has the same interest that you do.Some basic methods of finding properties are:1) Driving for dollars - Drive your farm area looking for vacant and distressed properties2) Place adds in small newspapers or direct mail newsletters3) Place adds on internet sources like craigslist and backpages or Use homemade bandit signs (batman buys houses etc.)4) Other wholesalers5) expire mls listings or FSBOSSome more advanced methods are:1) Working City Code Violations2) Creating a Birdog network3) Tenant evictions list4) Tax certificate sales pre auction list5) Bankruptcies/divorcesOf course you still have foreclosures and probates, but those are the norm and have heavy competitionGood luckBig E

They still offered homemade breakfast, it was just at your leisure and stocked in your room.

The first appointment to see my home made an offer (for well over & above the price realtors suggested I list at, and only slightly below my list price).
