If I give you 16k down, would you Cary back 9k in a second?"

The interior of their car is often a pretty good indicator of how well they will take care of your unit.

I thought about having the best tenant be an on site manger of sorts but this caries obvious risks as well. 

If you are the property owner agree that the car is worth $50K and you take property worth $50K in trade, then you will have a sale of the car and a purchase of property. 

if a car is 25% UNDER market price do you blindly jump on buying that car or do you hesitate and ask "huh, why is this car so much cheaper than it should be???".

And, real estate is a necessity, a car is not.

They were just trying to steal my $7K car for $1K.Ironically, the salesman who sold me the (above) car I am talking about four years previous to this, was absolutely fantastic. 

I was TOLD that if and when I die I should NOT have one house, car(I like my OLD cars), tool(of which I have hundreds)(And use them daily to rehab houses,,,,including working on theirs.)

@Dawn Brenengen - I own two rentals, one in the Amberly community in Cary, and another in Walnut Bluff in Raleigh.

I used to like cars too but it seems like every time I started shopping for a cool car I ended up buying a house instead.There is a pretty active REIA that meets in Worcester if you google black diamond Worcester you can find it.
