Sometimes when the comps are less than ideal you can go back 8-9 months.

I think ideally you would want to buy some newer homes at least in the 80's but preferrably in the 90's or 2000's.  

Based on these "what buyers are paying" numbers know what you can pay for each home to ideally make your invested capital back in a few months (12) or less.

That is the ideal situation.

Sounds like a good ideal, now I just need to know how to make it work out and know the ideals and inside scope...

I deal in mobile homes and when have one for sale - I let a few indioviduals know and they pass it around to friends, family and co-workers.

Then start adding on the creative ones.60-90 days seems to be the ideal projection time.Paul

I always recommend new investors start by defining their goals, then identifying the best strategy to reach them (given current macro conditions) and then what they are looking for in their ideal market. 

Ideally you have a buyer who's interested, and their check will reimburse you.Good luck!

Gray areas aren't ideal to play around with especially if they can have you end up in court for a few thousand dollars worth of gain (which would be a loss at that point).
