I haven't seen the inside of the unit but if I assume 6-7k to make rent ready (carpet, paint, work on the bathroom and kitchen, misc), $300/yr actual property taxes, and an estimated $100/mo for a fire policy would this be a property that you would purchase if you could buy/fix in cash?

But in more urban areas, as others have confirmed, 1/1 are good money makers as long as you are ok with being a more active landlord.  

The snow is starting to fly here in the Northeast and I’m trapped in doors for the next 24 hours.With the free time I thought it a good chance to get reassurance that my current deal is a good one.I bought a 2 family about 15 years for $120k, remodeled it slowly and rented it steadily for 10 years.

My ultimate goal is to make real estate investing possibly my biggest source of income.

Banks make real estate extremely difficult, and who needs that.Why does one go to get an REO?

If you fit the profile of an out-of-the-box thinker as well and is willing to unleash your creative genius then we have a perfect opportunity to open up the lines of communication and make real estate do what it do here in Georgia and that is MAKE MONEY.

There is not really much in this thread about buying on courthouse steps,, or indoors in FL.

Deal Maker Q&A or Round Table the last hour of the meeting.  

I am fully aware of the counter arguments of "solving problems no one else will solve" and "the deal maker is the most important person in a deal and needs to be compensated".   

Is there other stuff I'm missing, and can those things really add up to an additional $600K to make real estate the better investment?
