The conduit conducts the earth ground.

And if an owner/seller had a lot of equity, why on earth would they be in foreclosure?

@Jason Johnson Make sure to qualify your "investors" before trying to move heaven and earth trying to find deals for them. 

Under worst case scenarios they don't account for the cost of potential earth work that can be involved when a flood plain is onsite.

Because my favorite thing on earth is driving a high performance vehicle.

Reading articles like this make me discouraged to be human sometimes, Heck I'm discouraged I would even waste my time reading this article and thus proving I'm just another stupid person on the planet earth who had nothing better to do, than respond with this stupid reply.

Yet, savvy investors (whether local or remote) know how to get the data that they need to make solid investing decisions.Any piece of real-estate on Earth could be a good deal provided one obtains it for the right price/terms.

Why on earth would I accrue $270/mo for maintenance in an A neighborhood and only $200 in a C neighborhood that could be as little as 4 or 5 blocks away? 

Ok, I get that to a certain extent, but if I was a out of state buyer, why on Earth would I pay more then a house is worth when their are markets like other TK providers, specifically for me, Memphis and Little Rock where we would never sell over the value of the home.  

A lot of good information from experienced, down to earth people here, which is awesome.
