Excellent perspective.

For example the web page of the property record from the property appraiser's site, a pdf of the comps, an excel spreadsheet of the bid, pictures etc.

I also believe it would take longer to sell than a similar product in the middle of the community so that would increase your costs even more.

Pricing varies for the product and labor throughout the country.

Jon Holdman, excellent suggestion regarding the air compressor!

In a depression the GDP falls, it is the slowing of the consumption function or products and services being consumed less than an economy in balance.

Probably the least productive activity is having to weed out the pretenders from the real players.I typically do this with having anyone I work with show bank statements and to verify that when they say they have 400,000, 1 million, or whatever to work with that they actually do in fact have that.You would not believe the number of people out there that pretend to be working with capital or overpromise themselves.

Shaine, that sounds like an excellent deal.

(Heck, throw in marketing and management courses and you've got the functional parts of most business administration degrees.)It always drives me nuts when I see people spend thousands and thousands on expensive real estate 'courses' or 'mentors' when that money could have been spent a lot more productively learning some basic business principles at a local college.

They will always try to sell you something (which isn't necessarily always a bad product), but you will always learn something while you are there.
