Been exploring endless threads the past few weeks, at every opportunity, gleaning valuable nuggets to improve our business.

Just because you might have 125% debt coverage and adequate collateral with good credit doesn't mean you have the ability to endless funding, lots of factors play in to the picture that are beyond your control. :)

You'll find all the complimentary businesses that cater to students, restuarants, clothing stores, auto repair, the list is endless, just think of the athletic depts and activities that are needed to support a school sporting events.

., youve come to a great place, B/P full of generous competent people who can help guide you through the maze to reach your real estate empire.

The options are almost endless!

I have a broad sales background, however minimal real estate experience besides owning multiple personal residences over the years.My wife recently completed the book Rich Dad Poor Dad, which has now dominoed into the last two weeks of endless research and studying.

If it is REO the banks will auction it, if it is not the law states its still owned by the owner of record. its like a maze and really hard to get anyone to speak to. if the bank dont own it they cant sell it, if the owner wont co operate with the bank in shortsale they cant sell it. so either way you spend a lot of time and get no where.

But it's a business with endless growth and highly paid directors.

To a landlord of residential properties holding a house is simply holding inventory and inventory should be able to be moved and replaced to grow any business.An airport can change flight paths, bus routes can be changed, traffic patterns can change that increase traffic or make access more difficult, nearby zoning changes effect surrounding properties, there is an endless list of obsolescence factors that effect a residential property that can not be controlled.

Most of these homes are quite old and am afraid these might be endless headaches without costly updates and repairs.
