There are also many more options that you could play with if things didn't work out work out, unlike a property.I would love to hear more from others who perhaps have owned or ran a somewhat successful company and now involved in real estate and how you feel the two compare.Just trying to pinpoint at which point does it make sense for me to get involved in Real Estate because if I have to watch over everything regularly and get returns less than I would in a company it makes no sense for me.I look forward to your view points.Sincerely,Brent

Prices are higher, the homes have been significantly improved, functional obsolesence usually removed.I doubt that anyone can pinpoint an area as having a greater weather incident will cause any external obsolesence in the market, look at tornado alley, if the weather wasn't acceptable people wouldn't be there.

I was hoping a company could pinpoint the problem and replace just that section (it is likely copper pipe under there).Also, I understand cost varies by state and city, not to mention what they run into, but what should I look at as reasonable estimates?

It's hard to pinpoint why I want to pursue a career in REI, but when you can get excited reading articles, posts, books, and etc. for hours everyday, there might be something to that.

You can always pinpoint details you like, but the "vibe" (for lack of a better term) of the home I think is a huge selling point.So my next questions.

It is difficult to pin-point exactly why some campaigns do better than others, but here are some of the most common problem areas that I've seen from other investors:- The quality of the list (what kinds of recipients are you mailing to?)

And have an A/B/C pin point on them.

I just wanted to get a sense of the process w/o all the weird LA stuff...but you know that feeling when something isn't right but you can't pinpoint it.Btw, this was a cash purchase.

The difference between a "safe" and "unsafe" area can be as little as a single block so this can help you pinpoint whats going on in your exact location.Lastly I would encourage you to give the local police precinct a call and ask them about the neighborhood.  

If I cant sell it for whatever reason, I'm out 1.00 and my time, but I can usually pin point the issue and adjust to make it work.
