A couple of days ago there was a discussion here about electronically storing receipts and such.

The product is very affordable and available at Home Depot stores and online.

Getting fat, on skinny deals"???

She didn't get a convenience store and gas station though, just the school house, farm, and cemetery.

Hmmm.....kind of foggy concept for me....but is it in the same way a store might have bought 75k product in 2011 for resale but didnt sell any of it?

Are you buying it separately at a store and then having the tech install it?

You can find lots of great things at yard sales, dollar stores, and thrift stores.Staging is definitely a must!

I have been helping many who have contacted me with knowledge on certain types of deals.I am thinking of charging a consulting fee that will be credited to the buyers at closing off of my commission when a purchase goes through.I have to think about spending time with people who are serious about doing business and not just educating them and taking no action.I sent a plumber out today to inspect plumbing on a vacant apartment building and I am paying him for the trip.Brandon free classes are done at Home Depot on how to install things and if you spend time in the store you will start learning what materials cost.Free to you and you are not wasting anyone's time.Check with other investors at your local REI meeting to find out references of great contractors who charge a fair price for work.

You can get a "Principles of Real Estate" text book used at a college book store or off the internet, look at Amazon, just a few bucks.

There are still deals there, no doubt, but there are a lot of other markets now that are less mature in their expansion cycles which offers better room for growth and higher returns.I do still work with some killer properties in Atlanta, and know of a lot of good ones, it's just a nasty chaotic market and a big fat headache.
