We signed a 1 year lease on a 4 bedroom 4.5 bath 4000 square foot house with a large fenced in yard and a pond.

I can track hits to my website so I can experiment with keywords that will lead to more web traffic.I have a "For Rent" sign in front yard with info box.

You see lots of sold signs in yards since weather warmed up.

Looking ahead do not expect the banks to repay the taxpayers generosity. they will fight tooth and nail to give up as little as possible and salvage what they can for themselves.

A 20 yard trailer or its equiveleant would be pretty expensive to buy to rent back to the contractor considering some of the 1000 is the actual land fill dump fee(s).

If the assets are in your back yard and you have the supporting service providers such as foreclosing attorneys, etc FCI might make sense for you.

You can find lots of great things at yard sales, dollar stores, and thrift stores.Staging is definitely a must!

The house is an absolute tear down, NOTHING is salvagable.

Some of it is flat out beautiful and would be awesome to keep but it's really tough to find guys to salvage it.

Then it could not be close to the trains at all, no power lines, level back yard, certain school district, close to work, low traffic side of the roads, and also private wooded lot in a subdivision with HOA that backs up to the woods and not other houses.
