If you want to start one, I'm game too!

Unless you have extensive knowledge and connections with rehabbing, financing, market analysis, and just general real estate investing, I think you are setting yourself up for failure trying to break in to the downtown renovation game right now.For a beginning investor, I would rather you start out with something safe that has a strong possibility of bringing you a quick return rather than play the dice and hope it hits in time, and that advice has nothing to do with being my competition.

I agree with all cash, I've been working airline ticket counter/customer service for about 13 yrs and 99% of the population is not very bright at all. use the KISS principal...Keep it simple stupid.....the landlords you called probably more interested in selling their space then buying yours.

We genuinely like each other as people and now he has shown me the game!

ofgift,the properties and owners you're referring to probably won't be the type of "customer" you'll make money with as an investor.let's just say that this house you're referring to that dropped in price 3k was listed at 100k and now is at 97k...now you're thinking this may mean that prices are dropping and other houses will follow suit.

The way most people make money in this game is by using creative techniques to solve one person's problem while being able to structure the deal to where it makes you a profit.The key to finding a lot of deals in this game is to look for the MOTIVATED SELLERS.... forget about looking for houses, that's a waste of time and requires way too much work!!!

Especially, I LOVE Toshiba customer service and repair on warranty.

Every time I hear one of my customers-I am a barber- tell me their financial woes bcause they are living on social security and pensions, it makes me more motivated to make sure I have something when I am their age.

The more customization that is in a house, the more specific of a buyer you will need to find.Now I think staging a house is beneficial and maybe offering the furniture as an option.

Hi,I am looking for building custom cabinet with LEDS.
