I cut my teeth selling fuller brush door to door. so I could handle rejection I understood how to set up a buyer or a listing.. and I worked very hard.

Providing all goes well I will be financing with the bank and seeking investor for 20% and soft costs.I'll post in this thread any details.Have a "Happy Investing Year"Jerome

Park lot rent is 310 (low for this area and nicest park around), includes brush pickup and septic pumping.

I have read a little about Freedom Soft on this site and some other sources, but I have not been able to get any unbiased reviews of the product.

David,For me, I look for a 20-30% return on MY CASH invested every year or when you get your cash back via a mortgage, I at least need to net $101.00 per door after Taxes, Insurance, Vacancy, Repairs, Property Management, Mortgage, and All Other Expenses (Hard and Soft).So on the example I shared above where I actually walk away with more cash than I came in with, I would just need to net "over a hundred a door" and if I had 20K tied up, I would want to net 4000-6000 per year.The ARV is what you can sell it for when your done, it is the amount it would be appraised for, you can find this number via Comparative Market Analysis which is usually free from a Realtor.  

The one thing I walked away with was that some Chinese investors are willing to take a 0% - 2% return on investment because having their money here is better than having it depreciate in Yen.I would normally brush off stuff like this but even in my backyard I see international money buying 5% caps.

Just color over the scuffs,then take a soft towel (I use a terry cloth) and buff it out.

You could hire minions for what you needed, keep your hands clean and soft, only good for counting money. 

I understand having a soft spot in your heart, but at the end of the day, unqualified is unqualified.

We're in this for the long-term and although it's soft now, I just don't see how the housing stock recovers, makes up ground, and gets ahead to a point where landlords don't win.
