The revenue stream dropped when they changed the hot areas of the ads.

When default occured the penalty was added to the balance and I received 22K from them to avoid forclosure and extend the loan for an additional 12 mos. at 10%.

Just did a recent bill-board contract, here are the approx numbers: Traffic count: 52,000 12 rotating ads $3,500 per ad/per month

They don’t need to actually give you a card to use; the simple act of adding you as an authorized user will give you the benefit of “hitchhiking†off of their payment history.

Of course appreciation may be added as well, but only liquified via sell or refi cash out (which is also tax free by the way).

That's easy to determine by looking at the classified ads in your local newspaper or talking to other successful landlords in your area.Finally, your insurance cost of $22 per month looks suspiciously low to me.

My partner and I were looking at a house where the homeowner had gotten really weird with renovations -- walling off rooms to make two small useless rooms, taking down a wall to make one large useless room, and adding a second story addition that could only be accessed by a tiny spiral stair case.When we said this would be tough to rent out, she said: "Oh don't worry, you can always throw in a bunch of college students."

.- Install added insulation (attic, basement ceilings, ect)- Install Energy Star appliances- Convert oil furnaces to gas if possible.- Upgrade furnace to high-efficiency unit (90+ rating)- Convert oil water heater to gas if possible.- Recycle: demo, paper towels, drink bottles, ect.- Replace the toilet (old toilets use a lot more water!)

Vice versa if a big plant is closing.So, in your example, I would look for a deal with higher rents, a lower price, or both.

The best way is to have a number of these going, and have ads runing all the time for rent to own buyers, and keep a list of potential ones so you can call them the minute you get notice from your tenant buyer or if it appears they may leave you.
