Having said that ,EVERY SINGLE PERSON I HAVE EVER DELT WITH LISTING PROPERTIES ASSUMES THAT NEWSPAPERS SELL HOMES regardless of what information I provide them.I'm telling you, if we could just do away with the majority of print material, the commissions would be a bit less.

What major institutions invest in them?

I dont see a major slow down.

we gripe about unemployment at 5% while the majority of EU is over 10%!

We are offering $150,000. with $20,000. down and owner carrying $130,000 @8% for 15 years with a balloon in 3 years.The improvements sit on 5 acres 2 blocks off a major state hwy and the town is the next stop in booming growth.

Also sometimes they may have a website.In more major metro areas there are also usually private services that are compiling this information for a monthly subscription fee.Otherwise you can go to the courthouse and look up the filings yourself.Steele in Minnesota

looking for any info about a company called REOCOM. they are a major bank for REO properties.

The Association was going to spend about $440,000 to have the roofs replaced because they looked so bad.Now, three years later, these roofs still look like new even after 3 major hurricanes.

You are banking on major appreciation.I have no idea what appreciation is like in that area, but it would have to be an annual appreciation of 10% or more to even consider this deal.Here is my reasoning.

Debt to income is a major component of your FICO score and when you buy multiple houses (especially if you're rehabbing the houses instead of renting them out) it is quite possible that you're presenting a larger risk.
