I don't think the rentals in this area really fit the 1%-2% rule or the 50% rule, but I see rentals are everywhere in my area based on research on Zillow and County Assessor web site. 

I also have experience in internet marketing, web site design and some various odds and ends.My goal for this year is 2 to 4 house flips (which we have wanted to do for many years), and eventually (past this year) to acquire some rentals to keep.The inventory here is not like a big city -- but I've been keeping a close eye on things (for way longer than I've had my real estate license) and I see that it is really hard for people to find lower priced homes that are "decent" at the very least.

@Stephanie Darnell you could always be proactive and contact top producing RE agents in your market and offer your service's for free.. and only get compensated when they sell and close.. you could offer to fill flyer box's do web work and other marketing type things.

Mail 'em.

BP is a great resource, but at some point you gotta stop perusing web sites, stop reading books, and just jump into the water.  

The thing is 1) I looked on the county web-site and his arrest is for gun posession2) The lease officially ends 8/1 and I don't think he realizes this whatsoever and we haven't talked about it.What to do, what to do.    

If I go through the web on the iPad it shows up as just the word "Vote" in the text but not as a button.

The web sites are not owned or operated by the same companies.However a bank may choose to use both sites to auction properties (although not simultaneously naturally).

I'll snap some shots and post em.  

Interesting, I was up on computers in the days of punch cards and mag disks, totally lost today.I'm not sure I even know what you guys are talking about, that said, I have a IT specialist putting a web site together for me, have no idea what it will be set up as, that's his doings.No, I'm not competing with BP.I was thinking of a forum, might have a blog, a place to put out educational (real educational) aspects for RE investors.
