I don't even look at something unless there is at least a 100% ROR.My golden rule: Only speak to desperate sellers who are able to give you a great deal.

If we bid $40k at the auction and the excess proceeds went to pay off the other liens we would be golden assuming this is the high bid.

Do some due diligence on your own and follow the instructions at the link listed above and you'll be golden.

@Jay Hinrichs - sorry about that, sometimes I'm a little slow on the uptake...however, I am very jealous of your experience with those land salesman - truly the golden age of selling, with Ogilvey on Advertising as the gospel, and all that other mother jazz, as Frank would say. 

He said they aren't in dire straights or desperate for the income, but it's a fundamentally different version of their 'golden years' than they had originally planned.The Lyft driver proactively said that if he could go back in time, he would have invested his nest egg primarily in real estate, in stead of stock.

Greetings from the Golden State.

The company I used is called Pacific Valley Homes, and the manufacturer is called Golden West Homes.

@Matt MachThe golden rule strikes again.

A good property manager is golden, a bad one will bleed you dry each month.During my PCS moves or deployments i used to use "good ole boy network" for property management.

Thanks @Bob Burson The dealer is called Pacific Valley Homes, and the home manufacturer is called Golden West.They are out of Perris CA.
