Should I give too much weight on the county assessed price?

Of course I'll leverage but why not have the beautiful light weight feeling of owning free and clear and seeing that big rent check come directly to you?

I will put most weight on my test ads as this gets me a window into the actual renters.Thanks,Matt

If I'm not eyeing a rental I'll usually pay down some of the higher interest loans.Our portfolio is more heavily weighted towards lower income units.

Much success to you and I'll definetly keep you in mind when looking for cabinets @Dale Hensley I started out wholesaling for that reason I figured If I start at the very begining of the process learning to find and negotiate deals It'd be worth its weight in gold.  

Does any successful investor put any weight into the idea of the power of intention?

It's the weight of the responsibility you would have for the property.

A good LOCAL property manager is worth his weight in gold (unless he's heavy set lol).

So you can have all the legal documentation in the world, and still the lower court judges will rule against you.As you climb the ladder of courts, going up to appeals court and state supreme court, the rule o law holds more weight. 

In gambling, the house takes a cut, and thus the "weighted average expected outcome" is negative.
