I do recommend very strongly before you go buying the same list everyone else is buying and worry too much about dialers and the such that you take the very first right of passage that I believe every investor should take.DRIVING FOR DOLLARS.This is also probably one of the lowest cost of entry while also being one of the surest paths to success.Simply start going through the B and C areas of your town and start looking for signs of distress and abandonment.Look for the tall grass, homes that you can see right through at the windows, homes with no curtains and no furniture inside, damaged mailboxes, mailboxes with no doors, missing mailboxes, cars with expired tags which have obviously not been moved in quite awhile, etc…Once you have found 20-50 addresses, look them up on the county’s property appraiser.Here is a link to a site that will pull up the property appraiser, clerk of courts and tax collector for every county in the country.

As a result, we have had tenants lined up to rent before the work is completed, and we now usually have to expedite our work to accommodate tenant move-in dates.To make renovation easier, and also general management, we’ve changed door locks on all our units to Schlage keypad deadbolts, with passage handles for the lower latch.

Even the Attorney General has advised that passage would likely result on a lawsuit that would not be favorable to the state.

The balance sheet shows a net profit of ($40,000 - $20,000) $20,000, but I infer from the passage that the $40,000 promissory note was profit since "the house sold for $60,000" and "[the house] cost...$20,000." 

Buyer and Seller agree that the distributionof deposit monies based upon the passage of time does not legally determine entitlement to deposit monies, and that the partiesmaintain their legal rights to pursue litigation even after a distribution is made.What to do?

Getting started can be the hardest part and this type of deal can be considered as a rite of passage, frankly!

They also GAVE ME 7 really expensive interior doorknobs (4 privacy, 3 passage) that they didn't like once they got them.

The small commercial sites are getting snapped up.The passage of this long-planned high-density enabling bill was expected by everyone on the supporting side in early 2015, but in December after numerous delays, the council kicked it back down to the Planning level over a very thin reason that has now been addressed in some 2016 legislation.
