Especially now since they are the leading asset class to go into foreclosure.This may just be my bias, but i think retail and office may be the best items to buy in the next few years (for those able to) That sector is getting hit so hard across the nation right now and the downturn has been so hard and fast that when the cycle turn comes in the next 3-5 years and jobs are created and economy is improved people will get more adventurous and they will raise in price faster then apartments, self storage (is dependant on moves down It seems and when the economy is improving people don't usually move down), mobil homes i don't know.Of course anything can be a good buy especially if you get it at fire sale prices like today.

What do you do with your excess leads?

You hesitation of giving out proof leads me to believe you're shilling just like everyone else.All you guys have done is trying to recruit people to your marketing side.

There may well be something that leads you to believe there are local considerations that may affect home prices in your target area.

If you stop to think of it, the roles are now reversed.

Again, a different path, but leading to the same destination of freedom.So you have two main real estate strategies, a sprint, and a marathon.Buy and Hold is a great way to generate long term wealth with minimal effort.

My experience leads me to the tax assessors web site, or if possible to the courthouse and pull the card myself.

and am eager to learn more about Property Management and International Rentals, and maybe find some good leads, or at least ideas!

Where do you think those buyer leads come from?

Otherwise, they don't get paid.If they're not your properties, what's your role?
