We look for being able to get into the double digit range within 12-18 months.

I do know about the digital thermostats that allow you to set minimums where they cannot go any cooler but then how do I make sure they are actually getting the oil in the tank so that heat is running?

I invested in a second property two years ago and making double digit ROI. 

Go online, google facebook, newspaper, etc and make a list of every handyman in the area.

However, there are unique penthouses, gardens, and villas with distinctive designs that are generating double-digit returns.

In 2003 newspapers still made sense.

However, when the "correction" comes, and it will because it always does and we are close to the end of our UP CYCLE, property values could (and probably will) drop double digit percentages.
