But you also said you're unemployed.

He works as a union electrician and makes about 60k per year, though being in the union he is sometimes on unemployment for a couple months at a time (Which he's on right now).

The numbers are there (house is a REO languishing around $120k with an arv of $200k, up toward $230k if done w/ higher end finishes).It needs some basics (roof, whole kitchen will need to be redone) but most of the place retains some great features and should be a standout in the neighborhood when finished.

I was going to start one of these, but instead used the power of the SEARCH feature =)Anyone else want to share?

We've made some pretty important changes/improvements to the forums and have some great new features coming to the rest of the site.That said, I'm looking for your help once again as we begin to plan the next upgrade to the BiggerPockets Real Estate Blogging Network.For those of you who haven't tried your hand at blogging, the BP blog network is a fantastic place to get going.

I also Like that I dont have to write up contracts and can fax or email it.There's alot of other features cool like the comps, cash buyers, webforms, autoresponders, and websites.But like you said, if your not putting the work in.

Sacramento also has a high unemployment rate, I think around 14%.

I was getting all caught up, wanting to find the "safest", "highest opportunity", "lowest unemployment", and so on and so on ad infinitum ... my coach said "just start here... and look elsewhere if you don't find what you want".

This leads to unemployment, crime, decreased capital investment, decreased revenues to the city/state, and eventually decreased education quality and more and more divestment - it's like a downward spiral, or a self-manifesting black hole, if you will.On the bright side, the population in America is set to increase exponentially during my generation.
