I had an acquaintance who bought rental property in Albany and since I'm only 35-40 minutes from there, I took a couple days driving around looking at properties.

.* i have 3 small kids* recently injured my knee and on crutches and property is a 25 min drive away.Things are getting overwhelming and im ready to sell.

Experienced investors will want to help you if you show initiative, drive, and genuine interest.

Small-time HMLs may not require an appraisal but this could be because they will drive out and view the property themselves.

I'm located near Fort Wayne but really interested in investing in Winona Lake/Warsaw area, Kokomo, and the surrounding areas of Fort Wayne.

Some include auctions, or getting a website... other forms I don't really suggest... driving for dollars, door knocking bandit signs..Also...sending out 500 letters to get 1 or 2 dels is not very likely.Let me give you a bit more of the numbers people are reporting. 5000 - 7000 milers will get you 0 to 3 deals.Of course depending on your strategy, your list and your resolve..Hope this helps.Cheerios.

*MOST* of the time, unless you have something that's a maintenance or operations nightmare (i.e. you're driving a 10 MPG Hummer), the cheapest thing you can do with cars is keep the ones you have until the wheels fall off.

I think a short consult from an attorney is well worth it so you’re not the one driving the discussions and no one gets hurt by the discussions.

My market is Southeast Cleveland and surrounding suburbs (Slavic Village, Lee-Harvard, Garfield Heights, Maple Heights, etc.)

While title companies will occasionally insure ownership of a property surrounding a cloud, they will refuse to insure any title to be transferred with a "cloud."
