When I looked back, I was the only one running while the realtor stood at the gates of the building with dollar signs in his eyes.

I like expired listings the best, and I like to knock on their door and not mail them anything and not talk to them on the phone.I know if you live in a rural area that’s hard, or if you’re an expensive area that have gated communities that’s hard, but most middle-class neighborhoods it’s easy to just knock on their door some Saturday afternoon, and have report ready to hand them.

i acually live near reading now, acually grew up in reading it was top ten for many of things mostly negative but as of 2 yrs or so they have built an imax theatre and right across from that a high scale apartment complex with tenatants paying upwards of 1,200 and up for a unit with gated parking and all.

With any change of the board they can start enforcing all kinds of strange rules that never applied before.Here in FL, you typically get some retiree that lives near the gate and has nothing better to due than be a pain the the butt for everyone else..

Personally, I'd check in to the Golden Gate City area of Naples.  

Setup is similar to competition, no security gates.  

Who let the gate open?!  

Ft built in 1983 and the asking price is 135KMonthly Rents: $ 2,475  Annual Rents $ 29,700 Annual Vacancy 4.0% $ (1,188)  Annual Expenses 55.3% $ (16,418)  New Taxes 1.25% $ (1,682) Annual Mortgage Payments $ (6,338) this is a unit in a condo, the condo complex has tennis courts, swimming pool, community laundry room, and security gate (i'm workign on the comps with a realtor)Does that look like an attractive deal finacially?

Some security guards stand at the main gate of a big establishment such as an industry and their work is to initiate entry and exit for the authorized people only.

Would it be wise to start marketing towards investors straight out the gate or build up to it?
