Then add them to your list of lower end houses.

The military moved up my orders by 9 months and the other homes in the area sold in the past year for much lower than my home.

Pros are your interest rates are lower than a commercial mortgage, there are more people that can buy it on the back end and your down payment will be slightly less.

. * if I decide to go this route, I would need a realtor who 1) knows Tampa well, 2) who works with investors, 3) has lots of hustle and is responsive, but also has a HIGH level of integrity, 4) who listens well and doesn't waste their client's time showing them properties they know are higher than the client's price range, AND 5) has patience to walk a client through a deal where the client has an extremely demanding job.

You would need to take a property run down in an A area and inject it with rehab to buy at a lower price or maybe build new from the ground up.

Obviously the price point is dramatically lower than custom ordering to spec but if it's junk I'd rather not be burdened with replacing it again in the near future.Appreciate the feedback, thanks!

I know some of the mediocre craigslist photography was a big turn off for me while I was looking for places to rent, so if you're looking to step your photography game up in between tenants in the Florida Keys (prefer upper and middle keys at the moment, but could be willing to travel to the lower keys for the right opportunity), shoot me a message on here.I would also be willing to help with light cleaning if necessary in between tenants.

Builders like lower paint bids.  

If he fudged on income, make him a lower offer based on what he reported:)You might not believe this, but people lie in this business!

I'm looking into buying a garden level condo in Boston (downtown/beacon hill area).
