Of course they probably want to make a buck and might not be completely concerned about my risk.You can also think of it this way, if someone has a 2nd home or a vacation home, are they NOT allowed to rent it out on a month to month basis when they aren't present?

The sale was to a large broker who in turn had presold them to 7 of his own smaller accounts.Now this is the first time he/we have done a reverse but it will be the first of many and thats where I come in.Right, I'm already fed up calling my friend ' he ' so I am taking the liberty of nicknaming him 'Davey' as I write..He'll enjoy the private humour in that.Sorry this intro is so long but hope it's some use to some of the members.My email is somewhere in the system when I signed up.Cheers, Neil P

Our city is enjoying a pretty boomy post-steeltown era thanks to lots of good small and medium sized business in the area.

I'd like to eventually find my rentals making enough money to stop working full-time, or sat least allowing me to go into an enjoyable business of my own with little financial stress.I like to think I'm in a good position to get started...but what do you think?

Try to find out what you really enjoy and then find others to help with the gaps.

I really enjoy it.

I really enjoy fixing up property myself.

I will get the enjoyment from living in it and will get the benefit of not having to pay taxes on the profits that go into my second house when I do finally sell.I have been scouring the foreclosure listings every week, but am kind of stuck as to what exactly I should be looking for.

As a Partner in the GC-GOLD Construction Lending consortium with primary markets extending from the Mid-Atlantic States, the S.E. and selected S.W. markets I have to say that we have seen NO reduction in requests for const-to-perm financing from those who want to engage in the construction of a CUSTOM-built home as a primary residence or a 2nd/vacation home when completed.From that perspective alone...

I'm glad you enjoyed our country.
