Things were a little crazy over the summer but seem to be cooling off now (although inventory is down as well).

I am interested in adding a water feature to a courtyard in a townhouse in the Miami area.Does anyone have a supplier to recommend?

After the housing crash, my long time tenants moved out and I was moving off to grad school, and I could not sell my house (I was way underwater on the mortgage), so I ended up renting it out.I only recently got above water on that house, and it is not the best investment property, but I'm keeping it for now since it is finally generating a positive cash flow.I've recently come into a lot more money (self-employed), and am now in a position to buy even more properties, but I want to do it right this time.

I'm assuming that pre-foreclosures are in the same boat as well.Actually, pre-foreclosures are in more dangerous waters, a short sale the bank just won't go there, screwing around with a foreclosure takes on a blend of federal compliance and consumer issues, cause a delay and you can get nailed.

I think it will still be relevant when many of the other markets have cooled down.

Electrical, plumbing, exterior paint, hot water heater, refurbish boiler, flat roofs, Windows.

The property has a new bathroom, kitchen, water heater and heating (two years old) he also added a new privacy fence and waterproofed the basement.

Trulia Local is a very cool tool to get visual snapshots of neighborhoods.

We have had numerous water issues, from roof leaks, to plumbing issues, to tuck pointing all pretty much associated with the age of the building. 

Oh cool thread,You are the lucky one that knows better and a good reason why you are on the forum.
