Fannie and Freddie are fine for the first four, then it's time to shop around.

I also take a look at the area and make sure it's nearby grocery stores, shops, schools and transportation as these all meet the needs of renters and offer jobs in the area.I invest in areas that are lower economically than my own neighborhood but still safe and desirable to many other families.

At another sale a pizza shop owner paid for a property with bulk US coins as partial payment.

I would rather spend my time taking care of those, than spend my time with somebody who has no intention of buying or price shopping.

One stop shopping. o-O

We should schedule a phone call or meet up for coffee.

Its an easy added value and not much of an investment when you shop garage sales and thrift stores.

I think you'll fin that a one man shop will be tough to do to stay up with compliance, next year you won't be able to collect you own note on a residential deal.

They are not from the same country, some from Cuba, some from Ecuador, some from Peru, yes they all speak Spanish but not sure if that's "homogeneous".The property is only a few blocks from State Road 7 US 441, and that street is very busy - public transportation, stores, strip malls etc...so I suspect many work there, in the restaurants, auto repair, tire kingdom, hub cap heaven, super markets, pet shops etc...

I am convinced the Canadians just have it on a different date to allow them another day to come over to shop & smuggle stuff back before Christmas :)
