$1500 in Indianapolis will get you a 3-4 BR updated, and 2+ bath in an extremely desirable neighborhood. 

Hey fellow Bigger Pockets members,I am in my early twenties, newly married, and extremely eager to tear into real estate.

So I really do believe it's regional and I do work both extremes.

So say your eviction is scheduled for Monday and it is 14 degrees but Wednesday it gets to 20 degrees then they will do it WednesdaySee below:http://chicagoeviction.com/2013/12/december-evicti...In addition, the general order also provides that the Sheriff shall cease execution of eviction orders (1) whenever the outside temperature is 15 degrees Fahrenheit or colder on the actual day of the eviction or (2) whenever regardless of outside temperature, extreme weather conditions endanger the health and welfare of those to be evicted.

That said, do you out of courtesy give the tenant a heads up and set an appointment on a specific day, at a specific time and request that the tenant (or at least somebody over the age of eighteen whose name is on the lease) be there in person during the "Maintenance Check",ORdo you just show up unannounced, knock on the door/ring the bell loud enough to be heard and let the tenant let you in and then proceed with the "Maintenance Check",ORshow up unannounced, knock on the door/ring the bell loud enough to be heard and if nobody is home, or nobody answers, let yourself in, announce yourself loudly once inside and once confirmed that nobody is home proceed with the "Maintenance Check"?

With Google, you can geo-target, which is extremely important.

Even if you are extremely dialed into the "wholesale" market, it is tough to find a deal that you are going to live in because you aren't rational about it.

I know a 0% occupancy and even a 50% occupancy is extremely pessimistic, and again i am looking at properties that are already at or near 100% occupancy currently.

I am a newer investor, however I am extremely motivated to market and get some great deals  under contract.Thank you!

Is there anything you overlooked, thinking it was of minor interest, that in the long run turned out to be extremely important?
