Sorry, yes: by yield I mean annual rent divided by purchase price (actually, market value).Jon, I would think the "expenses being 50% of scheduled gross rental" rule would hold true where yields are 0.5% per month or less, but I don't think rules of thumb like this work when taken to areas where yields are extraordinary.

I am getting these for 1/2 of what they cost in 07', and approx. 20% discount from the true lowest dollar.

True they could go online to dipute their own items but online isnt going to educate them on how their credit works and how to use their new credit cards properly as well as step by step guidence for an entire year by a credit expert to ensure they don't do something damaging to their credit due to lack of knowledge.

Hi Curt,Just wanted to point out that your comment wasnt completely true.

It is also true that the majority of rental properties in the United States are owned by individuals.

To make a long story short, I've managed to save $9,000 don't have any credit card debt and plan to take basic real estate courses at my local community college next semester (real estate basics, the economics of real estate and real estate finance).

But, my logic says "there is a greater likelihood that the people you approach to enlist as your buyers will hear you out and opt in if you come to them with a list of deals that they can make money on soon" as opposed to saying" hey - i might have some deals you might be interested in - let me get your card"

The engine of this mass movement—as is true for all radical movements—is personal and economic despair.

No those #'s are true, MH parks have a much lower expense rate.

Its almost like its to good to be true.
