I’m looking at it the same way, I’m not going to bring my family to an undesirable area for their sake, and I look at reducing expenses as a positive, as for at least a first investment moving my money positively is a step forward 

What is your price per pound and what makets? 

Sophisticated CRM and follow up systems.3. 2 to 3 or more closers ( real people that the second the lead came in they were pounding on the door) now you will have others on BP who qualify folks on the phone and only work the with most motivated.. and I suppose that works were you have little competition or your competition for inventory is not keen.. these folks were in bigger MSAs.4.

IMHO, the housing authority is trying to bully you.I would lay out my argument to them, with comps, and be willing to tell them to pound sand if they can’t agree to a reasonable way to get you up to market rents.

They then take those notes and package them with others from similar purchases and sell them along with their analysis to private investment funds.This leaves 45 notes from a package of 1,000 that three professional investment funds, doing intensive analysis by highly trained MBAs, have determined cannot yield even a minimal investment return.These are then offered to the individual investor, who according to those in the industry “with something to sell” (the leftover NPNs and/or “training”) can profit enormously by (1) making them re-performing notes or (2) foreclosing and selling the property for large profits.The pitch from those “with something to sell” is twofold: (1) “There is plenty of meat left on the bone” (actual quote), and (2) if you send the borrower a complete package of all docs, weighing, say, five pounds you will “shock and awe” him into paying on the note.I highly doubt either of these claims have even a micron of validity.The parties with a financial interest in you buying into this will cite isolated instances of great success, never mentioning the all-more-frequent instances of total failure.So at the end of the day the training promoters have collected up to $30,000 per person for their NPN “mentoring”/”coaching” program, the retail asset disposer has made 50% to 100% profit on their inventory, private middlemen have turned a $2,500 investment in a note into $16,000, and my sister-in-law who purchased 5 NPNs over three years ago and has spent large amounts on attorneys, taxes, and brokers has yet to see a penny in return.To paraphrase, if you don’t know who the sucker is in any ultra-high profit promise situation, it’s you.

I Hit almost 400 pounds and I on a path of self sabotage and potential death my girlfriend being able to see it in couraged me to try meditation and yoga while at the same time a good buddy of mine allowing me to borrow a book he was reading called “rich dad, poor dad” and it shifted my enitire life on to a path of financial freedom. 

If you are constantly on the move or in less than desirable areas I would be hesitant to put my Macbook Air on a moldy/dusty/undesirable counter top but I would have no problem putting my $300-500 laptop on the same counter bc they are easily replaceable just in case something happens.

I got the tour after telling them to pound sand if they expect me to buy it sight unseen inside, but the tenants were entitled and uncooperative low end people and they had been spoiled by the landlord who had no idea how to manage.

Atlanta as seen phenomenal growth.BTW the suburbs which were undesirable have also tripled. 

Even the lowest priced house still needs to offer any future resident safety and this area can lead to various very undesirable legal liabilities for the owner/seller.
