So I'm not accused of failing to put my money where my mouth is, we have $1,800,000 in 15 houses, owned outright.   

They'll join a forum and have 2 posts and start running their mouths lol.

I couldn't have been happier with the experience.

He ended up selling the duplex and started buying in South Minneapolis, couldn't be happier.

OR you can also approach the second to buy theirs at a discount or you will wipe them out.To do this approach you need all cash to buy the notes.For auction at the steps if you go that route you need to find out if you can put money down and get financing or have to pay all cash.You need to be talking to the bank on this one.I have seen sellers do all kinds of crazy stuff that doesn't help you as a buyer but is looking out for the seller.If you don't have control and get the info from the horses mouth then don't do the deal.

It also gives some guidance and motivation for every challenge in life, not related to real estate only.I am pretty sure you would have been happier with a shorter answer but I thought there were too many critical things to cover that it would have been a pity not covering them; thanks for getting to this point and again for your questionFeel free to connect if you want to discuss furtherCheersCedrick

They are all much happier.

Maybe a cult breaks into your attic every night and holds a black mass up there and as they sacrifice their third chicken they drop the Black Missal right over your head and wish you the worst...Or it maybe a rat pulling and chewing on the insulation of a loose cable up there and the thump is the sound when the rat pulls too hard and the tensioned cable comes free from its mouth and slaps into the ceiling drywall.

v=xh1aWMWlAboMaybe reach out to these developers and get some good contacts and info (straight from the horses mouth).You could talk about lead paint, asbestos, grant money, local violent crime, and etc...Good Luck!

For rentals in towns like this, word of mouth and a sign in the front yard is usually what's needed.
