My wife and I have been vacationing in Florida along the gulf coast and down to the keys for the past 13 years and we have always had a hard time finding an RV park that wasn't full.

Yet he wants to pack up and head over to the Indianapolis region.Given housing prices here I can't blame him!

My girlfriend and I were walking and ran into the son and daughter of the woman who passed away packing up the home. 

Did you know that you can buy a pack of 25 basic real estate purchase agreements at your local office supply store?

Many DC investors regret buying and having to manage junk real estate in Baltimore.So ---- why would an investor find that the grass (the kind you cut on the weekends) is greener somewhere else.1. they don't have the skills or are unable to find an equity packed property where they live2. they are not versed on truly creative financing and making offers - lot of offers3. they lack the skills to negotiate an equity transaction4. they don't apply power prospecting tehniquesThere are motivated sellers in every market - go to the expired listing - make offers that make financial sense to you. run ads in the newspaper, use radio, TV, walk and talk, rent and housing court leads --etcUnderstand creative financing, make an offer to sell the property you have under contract before you have to settle, this is call CONTROL AND ROLL, offer more for the real estate by offering  a "principal only' mortgage (mortgage without interest), offer to buy the building and lease the land, consider a lease option, offer a seller partnership (hybrid offer)Learn to be a great negotiator, act disinterested, ask for more than you expect to get - study the three most important things in a transaction; The seller's needs, the real estate and the existing financing.

The reason is I have the storage units are large enough to hold RV's and boats. 

It defiantly is not a viable investment property as it now rents.I would suggest you tell her to pack her bags and find a place to live.

I think the best use of the land is to build an RV Park.

I've designed and built several RV resorts South of Houston within the past few years.
