It must be compelling, time sensitive, and hit hard on the emotional aspects of foreclosure.

I am looking for section 8, low-income govt sponsored apt bldgs in Miami, rent goes for around $1K/month.I wonder: how is this aspect of the market is expected to do in 2010 compared to the general commercial RE sector?

Things have been running great and I'm really enjoying all aspects of investing and running this building.

I provide real estate financing, but I'm also trying to learn and understand other aspects of the entire real estate industry.

(For real estate and business transactions) ;-) I've been a full time investor for 2 years and enjoy every aspect of the business.

I could write a book on this aspect, but I'll stop, you get the idea.As to writing a check or signing my name, I required a fair rate, assessed by my risks (and frankly, few individual investors can accomplish that in a reasonable assessment) and then required an interest return over the cost of money tha reflect that risk.

There are local people at these meeting from all aspects of RE who are happy to share their experiences- good and bad.Good Luck Chris
