For the most part, I have been really, really happy with my investments, but like most people playing the real estate game, I have made some mistakes.But that is for another topic.

By focusing on a smaller market (like vacant houses and probates) you are sure to get the cream of the crop that noone knows about.Foreclosures are public record, and they are fair game.

I told my buds that one was a big hitter for (large, Houston based computer company) and the other was a software designer for (big, Houston based software company) and while both had excellent taste in homes and cars neither knew jack about handling money.My buddy said; "well, you may be a slumlord, but at least your slums are on golf courses".

It is a mental game and those who get into a rut will stay there.With any proof all it takes is one false example to disprove the theory.

The software that I use for Blogging is a stripped down version of Wordpress that I get with my real estate website.

I am unsure if I would feel comfortable investing way of state, but I am new to the 'game' myself.

The software produces an analysis of a deal and presents it in a way that is attractive.

They bought into a game they could not afford to play in the first place and a 1/2 point off the Fed Fund Rate is not going to help them.Good Luck,Jason

Might want to see if a local appraiser/real estate agent may have software for the auditor.

Just wanted let everyone know if my input helps out and it might have to do with the software that your using, just a thought!
