I have definitely found some juicy vacant houses driving for dollars, but have not heard back from home owners.

However, there will definitely be opportunities. 

but trust me this is not a passive gig at all.Larger homes are definitely more profitable but also risky and more expensive to furnishFor corporate 2 bedroom/2bath is perfect since you can easily rent it to a family of 4 or 5 as well.Take Al Williamson's course or any online course some are very expensive ($2000).   

I would definitely use a fake name on your next listing since you've been getting odd applicants! 

If the note was generated as a seller carry back then I would definitely have a real estate attorney review it for any terms that May reduce your enforceability.

@Adam Lacey you should definitely use your conventional loan before you use an FHA.

What we read over several blogs is,1. if we have to take out plumbing and electrical permit, we have to have a building permit2. if we ourselves take out permit then we are responsible for all the work and insurance etc.I will definitely call the building dept

These numbers are definitely scaring me away.

The current owner is definitely losing money with new roof, siding, cabinets, refinished floors, paint, etc.

i think you should definitely pay down the HELOC.
