Is this a foreclosure or are you working with their Department of Neighborhood (DND) development?

You want to know what you’re buying before the county has properly identified the property.

Knowing the territory and developing relationships are essential to finding investment opportunities.

Exception is managing your own property, or hired by, for example, a developer to show only their units.If they are not licensed, you could tell them you will report them to the Department of State (or whatever agency licenses Real Estate agents/brokers in your state) if they don't give you a full accounting of funds and all the paperwork involved--lease, records, etc.Your attorney could also subpoena them to appear in court during the eviction hearing if they don't turn over the documents and accounting. 

While I'm certainly hoping to buy for the cash flow, not for the appreciation, this home is a couple blocks from the beach, as well as one of the hottest towns in Maui - a town that has no room for further development, but has people moving here every single day.

It is very easy for those who sell convenience to develop a deep sense of contempt for those who buy convenience.

You get long term finance and if one renter goes out you still could possibly have cash flow to pay the note.Another option is to buy a house in stage zero of a new home development where homes are just going up.

I had rents go down at 2 of my units because of development in the area.

Located not to far from a new developing neighborhood.Owner is asking for $189,000.

I know of forest bluff and Austin colony developments by DR Horton in Austin that will give me that kind of rent, but since I have already bought one in Austin I don’t want to put too many eggs in one basket.I liked one new townhome construction by DR Horton in Durham within my price range but are not offering the phase 1 to investors.
