For those of you who are a little older than I am, I thought you might want to remember one of the late night gurus from the past, Tom Vu.

....when you will take your next vacation when unit D is ready to rent......when you don't remember what normal people talk about at parties......when you wake up in the morning and the first words you say to your husband are "are you going to dig that sewer today?"......

Remember if you can't afford to do it right in the first place can you really afford to redo it.

He kept hawking something saying "with one tiny classified ad", yadda yadda.I remember laughing at first, but I looked at the info he had on how to place ads in papers.

If prices are going down just because prices are generally going down and buyers are feeling spooked, that's one thing.But if it is depreciating because the drug dealers are moving into the neighborhood and all the factories have closed and there is no living wage work, then that is a different situation entirely.Also, when you are running your figures, remember that the dollar loses perchasing power over time.

v=kUldGc06S3U Remember wait until the end and try to look for the track way down low after it makes the final turn.I would be cautious if investing for equity right now.

Ideally, you want that muscle group to be tapped out, by the last repetition, of your last set.

I remember paying ~$1.00 for a gallon of the regular stuff.

Mike is right,I can't remember how many times in the last few posts I've suggested joining your local REIA!

ThanksI'd join the local REIA (real estate investor association) and find out what the other investors were doing, where they're looking for deals, what type of deals they're looking for ie. subject 2, rehabs, lease options etc...then i'd let them know that i'm an investor friendly agent looking to serve other investors. remember to bring plenty of business cards with you to the meetings.
