I've been researching foreclosed properties in LA, and came across to some interesting stuff where owners in distress are selling fractions of their property to investors.

Behind all the glistening advertising materials, investors who are selecting either apartments or villas for living or selling, need to do their little research and calculations.

As always, have a clear goal, a plan to accomplish that goal, and do plenty of research into the business and in your market.

I've started to research the most-liveable tax havens.

But one thing you should learn from this situation is that there is no realistic way to tell if it is a deal until you do some research.

It is really difficult to spend time in researching property overseas, but if someone found the property exhibition in a desired region would help them a lot in relation to meet the developers and real estate agents, and get first hand knowledge of about their properties and locations.

So far, it has been working great.And considering that over 70% of people go online to research real estate before ever going out into the "physical world", it's a no-brainer for me.

I know, why Memphis, do your research.

He was willing to sale the house for $6000 as is. ( this was a dog of a house with bums living in it from time to time) After researching, I KNEW there was a market to other investors as it was a rental area.
