I'm going to look at a new house that's not finished.

I sold all of the homes tot he tenants and am just now finishing up the last renovations of homes and selling them to new tenants.

He's willing to sell AS-IS, or after finishing the house.

I've discovered of late, that most of the real estate investors I know are all poker players.

I have received several e-mails as of late regarding programs that will helo build business credit within just a few weeks.

It's been a wait they are trying to get the title all cleaned up.Well today my realtor showed us a house in a great neighborhood, 2 bedroom, 1 stall garage (small 832 sq) asking $30,900 - assesed at $49,210 (foreclosure - Freddie Mac), we are going in at $22k for the house and it need about $10k to get it ready to sell but if we were to put carpet/paint in the house for $1k or so we could rent it for $550 easy and then do a lease for 6 mo's then finish it and sell it for $60k - do you think we should do it?

K Smith, traveled the world lately?

Real Estate runs in cycles and we are in the best buying cycle we have seen since the late 1980's.There is never really a "bad" or "good" time for buying or selling your real estate holdings.

Nevertheless it's a lot longer than 21 days from the first late payment until a REO is listed on the MLS.

I would like to buy the house and live upstairs while we finish the basement.
