If you can improve the current location so that is creates a draw in and of itself then you can have some wonderful success.

But right now my energy needs to be focused on getting started, study for RE license, work a full-time job and getting things ready for my little one (yeah - I will be a dad soon ).

Random thoughts:The Jets O-line has improved quite a bit from last year.

I'd really need some Google love to consider directing my energy back into the site.

When I arrived I found HUGE holes in a couple of walls, various wires within the walls had been cut, and some lengths removed, 5 interior doors that had been kicked in, truly nasty carpet, dead lawn, a kitchen that a hand grenade would have improved, a hole through the sheetrock and brick where a window/wall A/C had been removed, etc, etc.

Look at the cost of energy and consumables over the next year and that will tell you what the Fed will eventually do.

(sustainable resource)- Use energy efficient light bulbs or dimmer switches (I heard E/S bulbs have mercury in them so I stay away from that)- Install a day/night programmable thermostat- Replace windows with double-pane LOW-E.- Install added insulation (attic, basement ceilings, ect)- Install Energy Star appliances- Convert oil furnaces to gas if possible.- Upgrade furnace to high-efficiency unit (90+ rating)- Convert oil water heater to gas if possible.- Recycle: demo, paper towels, drink bottles, ect.- Replace the toilet (old toilets use a lot more water!)

Putting money down to buy cash flow does not improve the character of the deal.

I have also tried the free trial a couple different times, hoping the second time would show some improvement.

If you put in a down payment, your cash flow will improve, but the added cash is the return on your invested cash and not from the property.
