The deed of trust should be recorded with the recorders office.

The housing supply/inventory has been between 30 days to 2.5 months for the past 18 months or so.

At this point, Plan A is to e-blast 2,500 Realtors 5-7 times each to see if they notice the email and maybe have a client, and bring flyers by some offices and try to talk to agents.

We are forced to make offers before viewing properties and even then we find out that the deal is already under contract.Now we are considering buying 2BR homes and adding on a 2nd floor master suite and nursery/office or 4th bedroom.Does this make sense to anyone out there?

Starting off part time is best .My personal thoughts would be to find out who in your office has a "team".

I know a Gary police officer.

Demand is high and supply is maxed out (they can't build any more houses in the area because there is no more land to build on).

You might want to shop around on craigslist - my last one was closer to 3K, but could have been smaller size.Are you positive the water leak was from the toilet and not a frozen/leaky supply line?

If you are covering the rehab out of pocket prior to financing perhaps supplying material yourself rather than eating the contractor markup on it might be worth looking into.

I do mainly fix and flips these days, hit me up if you want to grab coffee, I have a westminster office I work out of a few days a week.
