Downside: In 2008, the Brickell area had some of the highest foreclosure numbers in the nation due to rogue buyers, and several buildings down there went belly up and were blacklisted from bank financing.

First time passed the National but failed the state by one question :(.

Thank youAlso, if you can post a link for An Assignment Contract as well.Thank you for your time BP Nation!

As a licensed MLO I have to take several hours of cont education and passed the state and national exams for my license, however still not sure how this would connect with selling a mobile home I own on seller financing?

Howdy BP Nation,Today is a great day because a seller I've been working with for 3 months, called me up this morning and said she's ready to finally sell her duplex to me.

You can get information such as property records, property characteristics, comparable sales data, tax assessments and more from tax assessors and county recorders offices across the nation.  

I found a free calculator online at http://www.building-cost.net/ that based it's estimates off the National Building Cost Manual by Craftsman Book Company(recommended in NOLO too).

Welcome to BP Nation Steve.

The areas I've covered have been Santee, El Cajon, La Mesa, National City, Spring Valley, Mira Mesa, Lemon Grove, City Heights and Encanto.

Personally, I don't mind the C class neighborhoods in my market.I find that my Section 8 renters take great care of my properties if I give them a good product and I am relatively responsive to their needs.There are "professional" section 8 renters out there that take pride in their residence, but find that they are better off keeping a certain income to get their government benefits.I know this is a totally different discussion, but it is amazing how our local, state, and national governments take care of folks if they work the system.You can get great long-term tenants by giving a little personal attention to them and letting them know that you are in the business of taking care of their home and want them to stay there for the long term.The investor receives great returns and the tenant has a nice quality dwelling where they would like to live.A big problem in my market is that a lot of "old school" landlords don't put money back into their investments.
