From what I've seen going tile might be your best bet in the south.

If you are set on La Quinta, perhaps multi-family may be the better bet for long-term cashflow.

Oddly enough, I found and replied to your other post first before finding this one.

After the bank fiasco you can bet an appraiser isn't going to put his tail on the line and be duped into giving a higher appraisal than is justified, and in fact, most appraisers are being extremely conservative, so if you can't show "real" value, walk away.

But, not only is it not easy, it's probably one of the hardest things to do in real estate -- make money when you have no money by finding deals that are so good you can pass them on to another investor at a mark-up.I'd be willing to bet that 99% of the people who come here wanting to wholesale never do a deal.

I interpreted it as insurance is your best bet against financial loss and the entity is your best bet to make the path to a lawsuit "difficult".

It has no garage and no basement, is sitting on an oddly shaped, but very large corner lot.

I've asked people who bragged of making millions just on this technique alone, and when I directly approach them, I get sent to some convoluted website that occludes more than illuminates, others just clam up altogether.I'm getting the feeling that a lot of the people who make boastful claims, in this game, are just boasters.It also seems odd to me, that a person clear across the country, who has never been in my market, who never will be in my market, does their best to make sure they do not help me out, and in some rare instances, try to hurt my chances of success.

JIMO, see them and see what they will do, then get assistance if you are then at odds.

If they will finance that, that would be best.Your estate attorney I'd bet can do this for you.
