The average consumer can’t expect to get a loan on some of the REO stuff because they’re not livable.

If in a SFH I'd let the tenants go buy their own, otherwise I wouldn't mess with it.A long time ago my wife worked for a LARGE consumer products manufacturer in their soap and detergent division.

The housing market has long been the playground for the rich and famous, but now the average American is getting into the real-estate-buying craze.A new survey by the National Association of Realtors estimates as many as 25 percent of all home buyers never intend to actually live in their new home.

I had the great experience of living in Houston TX during the 80s when THE AVERAGE HOUSE LOST 1/2 IT'S VALUE IN A FEW YEARS.The most units I ever owned at one time was 16 but flipped a few along the way.

7.50 years or older - difficult to financeStatistically, people move on average every 5 years.IV.

I myself spend on average about seven hours a day in the bedroom, so I tend to go there next.

May not fit Your scenario at all, especially providing office space & overhead, however heavy hitters getting 75-80% based on PRODUCTION (all over 10k a month in fees=65%;allover 15k a month in fees-75%;allover 20k a month=80-85%,etc.)

Keeping in mind you want to sell the property within a reasonable amount of time, look for the average home.

Reprinted with permissionWhen choosing an area where to buy a rental property, there are several things to consider including, distance from your home, supply of potential tenants, average rents you can collect and the ability of tenants in that area to pay you.I would choose property where people want to live, close to shops, parks and decent schools, and in a well-kept neighborhood.

Presenting a deal that you can't explain to the average moron in less than 30 seconds is probably not going to get the courtesy of a counter offer.
