If so what techniques seemed to work best for you?

I was born and raised in the City and learned about investing techniques when I was in my 20's, now 73 still going strong and doing bigger and more profitable transactions.

I'm really just looking to maximize return here.I have a very comfortable savings/investment balance of $100k+, so secure financially.I am not handy and not looking to "buy a job."

I am calling all my local banks, I have a close to perfect credit score and other debt free real assets to use as security.

Does anyone have good recommendations/techniques that they have used in the past to analyze a new market? 

If the tenant paid the previous owner any security deposits, they would need to be transferred to you, as you will be held accountable for them whether they were transferred to you or not.

In my property that essentially has tree logs holding it up, there was later added some bracketing to secure the vertical log to the horizontal beam.

Definition I found online - A due-on-sale clause is a clause in a loan or promissory note that stipulates that the full balance of the loan may be called due (repaid in full) upon sale or transfer of ownership of the property used to secure the note.

My real estate goal is to become a successful real estate investor in order to secure my future.

We have class A/B houses that appeal to those with security clearances and other professional incomes.
