I work probate and vacant properties but my question is, how are you gaining access to these other ones?

I include appliances where they are already present, and wherever the access for moving in appliances is a serious challenge (for example, I have one unit where we had to remove the door and the door stop molding to get the machines through the opening).

A couple of other ideas: If you have MRIS access then you can see where the cash buyers are buying in your area, and market in those areas.

in Florida most homes are block with a slab floor and excluding land and soft costs can be built for around 50/sf.

It's the fugly house on the block.

Is the an accessible cap on the top?

For a loan to be useful to a borrower, the borrower must be able to access the funds.Perchance, did this lender require you to post a bond for all or part of the loan amount and use their bond issuer?

In order to receive/access DETAILED/COMPLETE credit report info (as opposed to just getting a recommendation on whether or not to rent to a potential tenant) from ANY tenant screening service, you must have an onsite inspection by a designated third party and pay an inspection fee.

Plus, you'd be surprised how often opportunities arise to represent someone and make some quick cash;- You'll get access to the forms you need;- You'll get access the MLS and some potential deal flow;- You'll have the ability to list short sales (if that's your cup of tea);- You'll be able to network with lots of others in the industry;- You'll learn all the basics of real estate that you're currently confused about.

Getting a realtors license is only a step above getting a notary public license. 10 - 15 years ago the only thing they had was access to the mls and data that nobody else did.
