This week I lost betting against the banks.

Knocking on the neighbors doors will be your best bet if you cannot locate using the internet for free.Erick

Third you can bet that there is deferred maintanance on these properties.

Thanks, my credit is good the 50k is liquid money I would say your best bet is to stay in CA but try going a little further a way from where you reside!

I bet your reading this thinking "man loki get to the point all ready", well here it goes: I want to know who you think is the top ten athletes of all time (well at least starting from the 1900's)!

I'd bet one would find several non-cash tradelines.My wife and I took Crown Financial Ministries in the late 90's, and were certified to teach it.

i am not a betting man, but i would put money down.most people are lazy and clueless. they see the color of the paint and they buy the house (if rooms size and location is right). it's really this simple.overkill, imho.

They pay the TV stars a big check to use their name, and the material was NOT developed by the TV stars - it's just the same old flipping formula (pun INTENDED) rehashed multiple times over the years with the latest TV star names on the "label".And, don't bet on that pot of gold (financing) they promise you at the end of the rainbow.  

If they give you a canned response, you can bet they sent the same thing to several other landlords and will probably waste your time at the showing with things like "Oh, I didn't know this didn't have a dishwasher".

No existing equity or mortgage (has not purchased primary residence) and will not be living in the rental.Would a safe bet be to get into the first rental with a conventional loan due to the existing interest rates?
