There are a few factors I have had to consider, such as: - living away from where I invest - maintaining a rental property away from where I live - the neighborhoods that I would be purchasing in are not the best -many other things I probably haven't even thought of yetDo many people live this far (about 12 hours) away from where they invest?

Those singles and without children ... including older folks, preferred no yard.If you are only investing in a single home, I would suggest you consider these factors, the park location, the neighborhood (young, old, children, schools, etc.) and then, what type of market you want to pursue.

A little research shows they paid $151,326 in 2007 in a desirable neighborhood, and school district people want.

So really...they want a new home with hardwood floors that look old in an established neighborhood =) We are thinking about knocking down a wall and turning the home into a 3/3 instead of a 4/2.

Jennifer Lee I look to buy slightly distressed properties in working class neighborhoods well below current market because I pay cash.

This could be the neighborhood of $70 to $100 or more per month per phone in the family.

I'm interested in purchasing a 2 story townhome in a class A neighborhood. its a 2 br/ 2.5 bath.

Glad to have another person in the business join our ranks.

Drive the neighborhoods and look for those beat up houses with deferred maintenance.

I like FloridaMoves mostly because it allows for custom search by zip codes, so if there is a specific neighborhood I am interested in, I can use zip codes and ask for alerts when a property within my strike price range etc...are available.I request a daily email compiling all for that day, and look through it once a day.What I am curious is for those who do not have direct access to it, what site do you use to be kept on the changes to MLS?
