You can also use Tenants In Common, buying part of a house and then work with the owner, fix and flip it, rent and manage it, this can stretch your buying power.

I really wanted to have a mid century pool home and my budget only stretches to it outside Palm Springs itself...

im in the same boat looking to develop a 2 acre stretch of warehouses into a 65 unit mixed use loft development. i have started meeting with city officials and we have brought on a community planner and project manager. both local to deal with the city, permitting, and bridging the gap between our new vision in a up and coming are and fit into the local culture. 

IE just tell the seller you have to run it by your partner   LOL.. which of course the have none they are just fibbing.. or at least stretching the truth ..

. - Tenants can't (or don't want to) make rent, and are stretching to find some BS reason that puts the ball in your court, not theirs.I am not an expert in Indiana tenant law, but I'm guessing that paranormal activity is not within the defined responsibilities of a landlord. 

Not a home run, but a solid single with the chance to stretch it into a double if the area appreciates.

The average commission is between 5-6 percent of the purchase price which is split between buyer and seller agents this can total up after a few or one transaction your a stretching into.

I know I don't mess with signs anymore.One guy here used to do the telephone pole thing also and would attach pinwheels to each side of the sign to draw attention to it.To answer the other posters question about legality.No the bandit signs aren't legal because the city and counties want their money plus they say it junks up an area.Not putting in the city limits helps because county code enforcement is usually stretched much thinner than the city.I use to put at major highways on end of the exit ramps.I would buy the stand and the yellow signs for a total of about 1.43 together.I would drive and pick up the signs as they get you on shipping and then hand write out with black marker.You need a king permanent black marker so the message doesn't streak if it rains outside.Here is a guy that does a lot of them and tests and tracks the results.http://www.uglyyellowsignmastery.com/blog/

This might be a stretch but the only reason I see someone going to click that link to the calculator is to test it out or to generate reports to convince cash buyers about the worthiness of a deal so they can commence business. 

The vertical stretches will likely last longer than horizontal.
