Hi Cyndi,I had a buddy recently who purchase a Home Sight Unseen (Inside) for a great Deal 100K under market value.Well when He got inside he needed a CDC Outfit because the entire inside of the House had Black mold.Thank God that he had me for a buddy and I showed him how to sue the Grant deed he was given and how to undo the Deal.Joseph

Just make sure that if you look at anything built before the Hurricane that you do your due diligence well, like any other place in need some contractors came in a did piss poor jobs on the homes an ran.I have a cop buddy down there too that bought a new home after the Hurricane I want to say he payed in the 120's range or so, nice little place i believe it was a 2/2 I would have to ask, it was in Gulfport.I did see a few weeks ago an REO property just north of the coast line in Gulfport that was a new subdivision development for sale, it has something like 70 plots laid out if I can remember correctly, the website pictures showed minimal readiness and I don't think utilities had been run yet, but I remember seeing the letters from utility companies and the State Dept of Agriculture about the land.

spending a few hours on a rei website will do little toward improving your goal achievement position.this rei stuff is like an awakening for alot of people...it may even last for 3 or 5 months...but if you don't commit to it and either buddy with someone who's done it, or push yourself to do it, you're interest will drop off and you'll end up just not doing anything.if you want to change your life, half measures won't cut it.

Sometimes some people are just gifted...Short Story:A buddy of mine wanted to buy a new house for his family tolive in.

Well my buddy and I have been thinking of ways to make some money, and have been throwing the Real Estate idea around, since we could have invested time into a business and made a healthy profit, for the same work we performed at the Apt..

Enjoy your stay buddy, there is more knowledge here than i can read :) dont forget the forums are just a part of the insanly large amount of info availible on BiggerPo!

The rest will be between my bf (who's a contractor) and his buddy.

I discuss my RE with my brother that is also an active investor and a few investor buddies.

Not saying thats not a nice a car....)If you're not confident in your car, see if you can borrow a buddys/family member/co-worker.If you are "pre qualifying" people heavily over the phone, you should be showing up at houses with individuals who dont care too much about what kind of car you drive.

Either fortunately or unfortunately me and a buddy got a small 2 family for $34k and plan on doing about $10-15k rehab by ourselves, now my partner is going to be renting 1 floor and my step daughter the other (this is where it might be unfortunate part comes in, but me and my wife are doing this to help her out)...
