Purchase price: $61,000 Cash invested: $17,000 This is my steal of the year...got this in a sleepy summer market. 3 bed/2 bath in really nice neighborhood.

Examples would be going after deals in higher priced neighborhoods that are in loan default, that are on the MLS for over 180 days that are NOT short sales, deals with code violations, homes with fire damage (most fire departments have records of these), homes that have an unusually lower amount of beds/baths/sq footage for the area leaving room to add on, and the list goes on.

Although I just looked it up again and it appears to be sold...I appreciate the feedback, and no worries about offending me or making me feel dumb...I'm used to it from my primary line of work, and just look to go to bed each night smarter than when I woke up!

I Have two bed two 1/2 bath 2 car garage.

I believe they're actually still on the market :)Early Sept I bought a 2 bed condo in Rox and a rowhouse in E Mt Airy.

It is on 33 acres and has a lot of features that make it attractive for assisted living including views of the Mississippi river valley, 33 acres of land with walking path, indoor pool, beautiful flower beds and landscaping.  

A bedroom must have a closet, 6 sqft as I recall, 2' deep, 3' wide, room must have an average of 7' ceiling over the floor space, 70sq ft rings a bell, must be 7' wide to fit a bed.

How much (guesstimate) would an electrician charge in Oregon to completely replace a load center in a 4 bed/3 bath SFR with 1,600sf?

So our needs make it so our minimum is 2 bed/1 bath and relatively close to a commuter rail (which I prefer anyway for investing purposes) and I certainly don't want to be living in the biggest/nicest unit on the property and eating up rental revenue.

At 3 in the morning I jumped out of bed, pen in hand and started writing - the system came to me as clear as could be..... the answer was CONTROL AND ROLL!
