I quit watching TV news decades ago. :)Regards,Tim

I did them in my spare time from my couch while watching TV it was super convenient and easy. 

The lake is very active with sporting and leisure.

If you can get s great price for a very nice property (in my opinion, $35k or less rehabbed) you have a note of $200-$300 and they all rent out for at least $850, 3 bedrooms +)Most are scared to even set foot in these areas because of what they see on tv or in the news but those that understand the numbers are constantly looking for more properties to rent in these areas.Want examples please take a look at before and after pics of SEVERAL homes, duplexes etc that are presently rented out and have been for over 5 years or more with a profit of at least $400-$500 per home.  

I know Little Haiti from the TV Show The First 48.

Most people were afraid, and the ones that weren't were absolutely killing it, making 80,000+ on just about every deal.With a combination of greater access, more visibility every year, media and TV show coverage, along with continuous growth for almost a decade now, just about everyone has caught on to the whole Buy-Fix-Flip strategy. 

well, everyone vs, laser targeted motivated leads.Example.1) Sell me your house, and you will get a 200" flat screen TV, and 2000K off your new car.Vs.2) We buy houses in cash and can close fast, before your next mortgage payment.Example 1, will get you people that were considering selling their house, and you made it a bit more attractive to to do so. 

Sheriff Brady seems to be on TV every other day with some kind of horrendous crime and doing an exceptional JOB.

They didn't know their market and got conditioned to high numbers on TV or other markets and didn't realize that $180k is VERY expensive for many parts of our town.The danger is because our real estate is so affordable people are coming in from out of town seeing potential to increase rents...well, again, it depends on neighborhood.

Today was Inspection Day......As annoying as these appointments are, the inspector come in and added a million things to my plate as he walked by leisurely pointing out his "observations".To revert my impatience and frustration, small talk was in order about his job.
