I put all new front porch 16x60s in the unoccupied spaces after giving the old homes to a transporter who also sold them in hillbilly country to cover his costs and profits.

You can also do it more easily in other areas of the country, since there is a knowledgeable local that is on top of it (which is difficult to do if you purchase it yourself, and intend to manage it yourself).There are about 100 different sites, but I would recommend focusing on the most mature/fully featured ones that match your investment criteria.

That's huge ROI potential.Or you can own the business and see an even higher return.You have one of the best private resources in the country right in your backyard - Gene Guarino is the premier educator on residential assisted living through his RAL Academy.

That was the fourth-highest share of distressed sales in the country, and well above the 11.1 percent U.S. average.But it was down from 22 percent over the year.

Perhaps a three, four hour drive from where you live is suitable, but going into another part of the country is really making things harder on yourself than they need to be.

My market here in Cleveland tends to lag behind the rest of the country and the swings are not as volatile so prices are still 40-60% below the highs of 2007.As a buy and hold investor looking 30 years into the future - does it make sense to keep these assets until I retire our should I sell them if the market here goes back up in 5-10 years.Example - the house I picked up in a Cleveland suburb for 50K sold for 120K in 2006 - if the market reaches this level should you always sell if you are looking long term.
