I've got one good pool of capital to put to work for my second round of major purchases and trying to make sure I am looking at it correctly for cashflow and moderate downside risk.

Based on my observations, these large communities do not change hands often in my opinion.MLS data shows that the ones that do change hands often are duplexes, triplexes, four-plexes and moderately sized apartment complexes.

Moderators: if this is in the wrong forum let me know as I didn't know where else to post it. 

There are homes that have original finishes, same sf and location and sell for 550k and others that are moderately updated and sell for between 505k and 600k.

Hey guys.Being moderately experienced investor, I have done HUD's, local auctions, selelr financing, rentals, flips, etc...I have toying around with the idea of using a virtual assistant to submit my HUD offers (in and amongst other things).I am curious:1)  Has anyone been using virtual assistants to submit HUD and has it worked well? 

There is a house that has been vacant for a couple of years that is in moderate condition and it has never been listed for sale.

I was going to rent but when I saw how much rent was in the area (600-800 for a 1 bed apartment, 800-1000 for a 3/2 not-so-nice house) and how cheap houses were to purchase (30-70k for a not-so-nice to moderately nice 3/2 house) I decided to just buy.  

My point is you can generate that income on a reasonable fraction of your cash with only moderate risk, without real estate.

I'm interested in properties needing light to moderate repairs, and we will self-perform using our contractor experience.
