cid=PG&s...Lastly, try knocking on some neighbor's doors.  

Maybe the solution is just to continue knocking, and hopefully the right developer will come along.

I will consider doing a spot check going by there in the evenings about 8 o'clock and knocking on about 10 different doors see if somebody opens the door and just tell them oh I'm sorry I have the wrong room then compare your notes to what the manager claims is rented

I'm trying to knock items off the list now to prepare.

A huge milestone that I've recently overcome is talking myself into having the confidence to knock on the doors of people who are in pre foreclosure and present my offer... get them cash for the remaining balance of their mortgage before the bank takes the home back.

Over the years I've tried a lot of different marketing ideas and several that I use are still working today, however, I still believe that knocking on someones door and getting face to face with them is still (in my opinion) the best marketing method out there.

Tax Sale - get the list - don't go to the tax sale auction - be PRO-ACTIVE - go to the property where the taxes have not been paid -Knock Knock - hello - I am not sure if you knew it - but your name was in the news paper - something about a tax sale -- Ask the Question -----When you get good at this you should be making 5-10 offers a week This stuff really works - at this time we have lots of offers pending.Wishing you good luck - stay PRO-ACTIVE -Charles Parrish - Investor- Auctioneer - Nationwide

Also note that by trying to purchase through the LLC, you've knocked yourself out from most conventional financing since they don't lend to LLC's.Call around to small local banks would probably be your best bet.Good luck, -Tom

If Fannie is securing your loan, you should be able to knock it down to 192,000 coverage instead of 320,000, or at least something cheaper and up your deductible to 5%.  

It's a unique property for the neighborhood but it turned out beautifully so I'm confident (knock on wood) we'll do well on it.
