Apparently there are not a lot of houses that change hands (at least at arms length or not involving investors), as the area is pretty stable, so most of the comps in my original appraisals are just a little older than those dates.

I'd like t get everyone's thoughts on handing over one’s wealth to their children and grandchildren after passing away.

The experienced hands on here know that you always buy this stuff when you find it for cheap because you'll need it eventually.

I don't care who she brings with her to look at the place, I'm probably NOT going to rent to her.On the other hand, there are untold hundreds who fail at REI, they too have a few things in common:1.

Have enough cash on hand to make multiple offers.

What I know first hand is that it is very successful for us.Our typical purchase is $25k - $50k that needs $5k - $10k of remodeling to sell for $50k - $100k.

This is just the new reality of a bank that 2 years ago would throw cash at anyone that would stick out their hands.

IHMO (and, I'm in the middle of rehabbing a house as we speak), you CANNOT rehab houses unless you have a significant amount of cash on hand.

Everyone is trying to sell the same thing, and only a handful make any money at this gig.So, any of you own your own real estate company and, if so, care to share the experience you found?

I could get my hands on 10-20k but for a short period of time.
