But I'm a listing Broker and I am Chasing Listings-absorption rate will tell you if the "market" is healthy (6 mo's inventory). the idea of a health market is that if no other homes come to market, all the homes will sell, and there wont be any left in 6 months.to calculate absorption rate take the # of sales in the past 6 months, Divide by 6 = Average sales per month/ average monthly sale (AMS)then Divide the AMS by # of Active homes on the Market = absorption rate.OR take # active homes / AMS = Months of inventoryHope that is Helpful. or at least interesting-

@Tim FitzGerald   good points the only rebuttal I have to your post is RE agents contractors appraisers lenders etc are all licensed and they stand to lose their livelihood is they screw up badly enough.. a non licensed wholesaler can botch a deal and they are immune .. no other industry would allow someone with no training no licensing to control thousands of dollars worth of assets they do not own. and if it goes bad just say well I am sorry it did not work..

it does not need to be healthy just keep mailing them over and over good luck to you

The area near #8 is Downtown College Park, which is a healthy area of South Atlanta ITP (lets refer to it as that), and is adjacent to Hapeville, which is expected to be a prime real estate location due to proximity and amenities.Here is a link to the master plan: http://www.eastpointcity.org/wp-content/uploads/20...Just recently, there was a groundbreaking announcement that the City of College Park ITP would be breaking ground on a new convention center which will host the Atlanta Hawk's G League Team, concerts, graduations, conferences, and everything in between.

Along with that: know that forgiving is healthy and positive but you don’t HAVE to trust again.

It should be of interest, however, that she failed to point to any act of Congress that immunizes a FHA/HUD mortgage from state law.

I have done research and concluded that the city is improving in a number of different categories (crime, housing, job market & health).I am thinking of purchasing vacant lots around Tallahassee and building a number of units ranging from town-homes, triplex, and office space.

It will take me about 4-5 years to recover my costs to where I'm profitable (on a cash basis - but the property has appreciated substantially already) and I have a healthy monthly positive cash flow with high potential for future rent growth. 

I have great credit, cash in the bank, a healthy income, and two properties free and clear...surely some bank would see that this is a no-lose deal for them.So what do you guys think?
