It also tends to cut pretty badly unless you're using a fresh, sharp blade.

I was aware that it had to pass inspection, but these homes were really old and in my opinion pieces of junk but a fresh coat of paint and repairing a couple Windows is very inexpensive in exchange for moving from a three-bedroom to a four bedroom subsidy.

If your looking for cheap work like you stated then why do you care to investigate them?

I'm familiar with Market Analysis or rather I've heard of them but what benchmark is used if any to conclude that a community is underpriced and thus a great buy or overpriced and not worth the time to investigate. forgive me if I have overlooked something very fundamental.Thanks to all.

It tells me you're actively looking, you're still out there, it keeps you fresh in my mind when something that suits you comes into my inventory.

If you do some investigation on the tactical aspects of how Buffett invests, the bulk of his success is based on his ability to bring in tremendously strong middle management -- and by middle management, I don't mean what most people typically think of when they hear the term.Strong middle management in this sense has the ability to transition fluently from on-the-ground day-to-day tactical work to high-level over-arching business strategy (and everything in-between), and there are very few people in any industry that have the ability to be true middle management for a Buffett or Buffett-like company.Finding folks who could play the middle management role in company overseeing millions of rentals is probably near impossible, especially given that the bulk of those who are qualified probably don't need the money or the recognition that comes with working for Buffett.I certainly could be wrong, but that's my take on why he's not actually doing it...at least not yet...

I'm hoping this is a hangover effect from the cutback in foreclosures last year due to the robosigning investigations.

Ive purchased a number of REOs but they have always been fresh listings that were good deals the day they hit the market.

Since we have hundreds of new posts every day, the odds are pretty good that you're looking at new, fresh content on the forum homepage or dashboard.

I for one would investigate to see that there aren't any pending claims against a company.
