YOu still get homes back, you some times have to abandonment process to get the titles back...It's best to visit local parks, meet the managers and ideally the owners and bring a box of donuts and gallon of coffee to learn what is reality in your area.  

Visit your bank, or another bank and ask about small business classes that touch on "use of funds" management, they can be helpful or point you to a class in your area, generally these are free to attend, check the Chamber of Commerce too.Basic business finance is simply an extension of personal finance, it doesn't have to be complicated. 

That's a question he'd have to research and run the numbers to see which comes out ahead.

Thank you ahead of time!

I am currently talking with a Realtor and have visited a few properties, although through my analysis there aren't many deals on the MLS that will cash-flow or even break even with FHA financing (at least at this time of year).I hope to make it out for the Chicago Meetup this Tuesday and start networking with locals and learn more about the community. 

Update We went to couple banks in the area and still planning to visit some more.

I could be wrong though.It's always worth a weekend visit to check it out and see for yourself.

I'm on podcast #73, so I might have to leap ahead to check out what "SAVERS" is all about.

However I would still be a active owner and visit one time per week.
