And also look at outdoor mats, indoor mats and rugs, etc.

I take pets and I won't rent to anyone who tells me their dog is outdoors only.They are tenants, so they are probably lying and the dog is an indoor dog, so I reject them for lying on the application.If the dog really is an outdoor only dog, I don't take pets that aren't considered part of the family.

Cattle ranch is a lifestyle, not a money maker.

Why they don't go to a universal plug-in port like most of the other phone makers is beyond me.

The thing was not a money maker, it was more offered to be a service for the people.

Additionally, I have been the senior portfolio manager of $85 MM AUM for a investment fund which primarily invested in mortgages and real property and in that role was the primary decision maker.

One of my early deal-maker friends always had the philosophy of take some, leave some, and it works for me.The first time I had this happen was a long time ago but my response was "so what your telling me is if I go back to the sellers and pay them more money then you will be interested in the deal at this price?"

I'm a complete novice and will likely never make real estate my primary business.

My thought was that the foreclosures might actually be the bigger money maker if done correctly - if the tax lien holder forecloses the mortgage gets wiped out all together so you ownt he property free and clear (barring and IRS or other senior liens) In this scenario you get a house at a steal of a price.On a second thought though, if a property has a mortgage you could keep collecting subsequent years liens and when/if the mortgage holder forecloses you would get repaid - which would be a great return.Joe- are you experienced in KY liens?

But with debt service of $660, this looks like a money maker to me.One possible investment path with real estate is a form of forced savings.
