Nowadays it is much harder to find a good deal, at least in the areas I focus on.

These clauses are contained, in all Promissory Notes nowadays

Yes @Daniel Ahern, structuring is something you see a lot when people are trying to launder illegally gotten money or people that win big at the casino and don't want to have to pay taxes on their winnings.

I think people nowadays just have to be a little more proactive or aggressive maybe and go find those distressed sellers that are looking to sell quickly which ultimately means you getting a discounted property.

I've been looking at Allentown - in and around the NIZ, and Bethlehem, near the University, and Sands Casino.

Have multiple bids is about the only way to save on items like electrical and plumbing, and a good way to cut costs nowadays are with the finishes.

There are so many different ways to enter this realm nowadays.

I was told by a broker that nowadays foreclosures and short sales don't provide much of the expected discounts from retail price.

i don't want to blame the casino in Bethlehem for some of the current issues in reading or Allentown but I just might praise it as providing these fourclousures.

I am not in Detroit (however, I do go out there a occasionally since my husband is from there), but nowadays with email, google docs, FaceTime, you can work with almost everyone anywhere.
