I am not a sales men, I just like to expand my portfolio (personally and professionally).

My only answer would be the hope for significant appreciation over time by buying in a burgeoning neighborhood adjacent to downtown, where many upper income professionals work.

I came to the work as a grantwriter and program developer and started attending meetings, reading books and learning the business from the perspective of the professional investor.

One of the major benefits is qualifying as a real estate professional and i still havent had a chance to get all the details on that until i speak with someone with a CPA.

I would contact an Investor who has funds and do a JV.It may take a while, but I have done this in the past.DO YOUR HOMEWORK and PRESENT IT LIKE A PROFESSIONAL!!

It moves, and it takes investors, real estate professionals, and all others involved to move with the process.

PROFESSIONAL FORECLOSURE CORPORATION OF VIRGINIA, Substitute Trustees, C/O SHAPIRO & BURSON, LLP, 236 Clearfield Avenue, Suite 215 - Virginia Beach, VA 23462 (757) 687-8822.

And join a local realestate investors group in your area, so you can meet other professionals.

I have on RARE occasion, rented to someone with a green thumb and actually liked doing it, but they are a needle in a haystack.If the neighborhood is truly known for it's landscaping, you want to have a professional do it (just build it into the rent price) and then one of your great selling points in advertising your property is that "professional landscaping" included!

Do you want to share your message with investors, real estate agents, mortgage professionals, buyers, sellers, and others in the real estate world?
