At least the ones with names like "century village" you could tell they were 55+, but most of them wasted my time evaluating them and then later realizing what they were.  

But you can get bond index funds in either mutual fund or ETF version, over the short term the differences between he two shouldn't matter much, so don't waste time agonizing over which is better.

@Brandon Turner)Anyhow, my question is that I'm putting together a listsource list, and I'm seeing 255 results for my criteria unless I add in Equity Unknown to my equity filter, in which case it goes to a much more desirable 1052 records.Am I wasting time and money including the Equity Unknown or is it worth the additional investment to cast a bigger net?  

Our experience is that, except for the tenants that keep a beautiful house, showing a house loaded up with moving boxes and scattered flotsam is worse than just waiting it out, cleaning up and showing it when it's empty.

So if anyone wants the leads let me know- if one scores and you want to send me a small referral fee that's great- but no sense letting them go to waste.

Basically would you rather waste time to save more money for a larger/nicer property or as soon as you would have the money for a lower priced property do you go out and get one.

Maybe buy a house and load it up with some rent paying roommates.  

Because I feel as though I'm wasting a lot of time, not only this, but on similar properties I'm researching.

I recently started buying door hangers, but I don't want to waste them putting them on the wrong door that a person will just throw away ?

Don't waste time.
