I search Realtor.com plus my agent sends me freshly listed REO'sDon

I know this has been posted before but I need some fresh info if its possible., Appraisal came in at 188k on a 230k deal.

I bought a few sets of stainless steel appliances that I'll use at some point this year...for now they'll be in storage....also bought a HP touchpad...anyone know how to use it?.

I have received a letter from my HOA telling me that I was in violation of having storage items on the side and rear of my house that can be seen from the road and that I had 10 days to comply.

You really just need the contractor to confirm that there's nothing out of the ordinary wrong with the place like sub flooring that needs replacing or a cracked foundation.Since you're also in the northeast do you guys have the issue with underground storage tanks (UST's - that were used to supply oil to oil furnaces)?

I moved from So Tx to Ft Myers and also bought a self storage facility in Bonita Springs.

I would be out of business paying those rates.My experience has been tenants just want it to be fresh and pop.Buyers of homes want everything to be perfect.One of my tenants works for a landscape company.All other companies wanted 400 a month to do my 5 buildings.I give him a 100 rent credit per month and he does all five.I charged higher rent for the unit with giving the credit so I actually get the 5 properties completed for about 70 a month.Example building rents from 900 to 950 but most tenants are at 900.I set his rent at 950 so I still get 850 each month.Savings of about 4,000 a year on landscaping alone.

I would like to start fresh in 2012 and give this a shot.

They remove a profitable property from the market, then screw up and go out of business to make room for another bunch moron rehabbers fresh out of a guru seminar. sigh... can't blame the sellers for taking a ridiculously high offer from a moron.

It also tends to cut pretty badly unless you're using a fresh, sharp blade.
