A few years back, I went to one of Raymond Aaron's real estate seminars and Marco Koslowski was one of the featured speakers.

What he doesn't tell his audience is that in his little part of the country, the market had been depressed for several years both before and during the Booming 1999 to 2005 years and that the average price of those 15 homes was most likely under $30,000.The Poor Marine Corp Pilot who gave up his commission, was out of work and collecting unemployment (sob, sob) who found a defunct multi family property and was able to make a deal with the seller (who couldn't give the property away) using a "Master Lease Option".

That can also make buyers nervous.Corner lots also depending on if in a subdivision or side street can be nosy with stop and go traffic.You have to make sure the external features are just as appealing as the external.When I would drive around with real estate developers for site acquisition would would put every location through a process.We would start out with say about 10 and then on the map have a checklist of positives and negatives.When we wittled down the list we got down to around 3 properties and they purchased 1 to 2.

Also you want to find properties with similar features in similar condition if possible.

You can think of labels as non-exclusive folders - you can assign multiple labels to an email, which is sometimes quite useful.I also like gmail's new feature of categorizing your emails into a priority inbox, a regular inbox, and a "to-do" list - starred emails.And I agree with Jon - search is the way to go when you want to find something.

What I find interesting is that the bankruptcy map seems to follow an unemployment map that I have seen as well.State income tax doesn't seem to play much part in bankruptcies.

In the analysis, I had to put it in the "loan coast", because I don't have there "rehab costs" feature yet.Also I have balloon in 4 year and the note is amortizing over 9 years (to reach the same height of the monthly payment as the seller pays).

If you purchase insurance decide what the purpose is and make sure the features of the coverage you choose match your objectives.In most cases if you do not require a death benefit you will be able to structure a more financially efficient method to accomplish your goals but Life insurance does provide extraordinary tax benefits under our current tax code.The current low interest environment makes permanent dividend paying policies look attractive with loan rates that could be beneficial but remember the dividend is not guaranteed and is contingent on the insurance companies continued investment success.
