I've just spent two weeks re-habbing a relative's place on Marco Island, FL that has only whetted my appetite to apply my background to real estate deals.I'm low on cash, but am willing to learn fast, work with tenants, and take a slow-as-you-go approach until I can speed thing up, like MikeOH.

If you have the chance, maybe you can stop in to your local bank and ask what type of property they have an appetite for and under what terms.Once you know that then you'll be better able to not just find deals but make them happen, even if you have to bring in a partner.Stacy

Some habaneros and a healthy appetite.

After all, termites do have an appetite to devour all cellulose-based materials ...

It depends on your appetite for investment.Too many other less risky properties with excellent returns nationwide to pursue this type of stuff.Some people love it.I know developers still building with Go Zone in New Orleans.When it's about Government and money it will be a long drawn out ordeal.The Government takes payment fast and pays out slow.It's the American way>>>>>>> :)
