And let me tell you, I'm about ready to move out of mine for good!

With real estate values slowly deflating, do you think real estate investors will diversify into the stock market or are they more likely to switch into cash, gold or bonds?

I want to concentrate in the gold mine area of foreclosures.Have I rambled too long?

A while ago, I talked to a commercial lender associate of mine about a very similar situation.

The house needs a great deal of work but I am certain the house is a gold mine.

How they get the tenant to pay the extra is beyond me, but it's their business model, not mine!

Brandy Griffin is right on with her post.Even though the asset managers working for the banks normally give non-contingent cash buyers a built-in inspection period in their disclosures and even though the asset managers couldn't close in 10 days even if their life depended on it, if your offer is a non-contingent cash offer with a quick closing it looks a lot better than someones who is not.I've beat out many competitors even though my offer is cheaper because mine is stronger.

Retiring with a rental fleet has always been a dream of mine but this market makes it hard to get started.

(I think they require an invitation from an existing member for the intro site, but I have had mine for more than 2 years so I could be mistaken..)

There 6 houses, almost exactly like mine, listed on the MLS, for sale in town.
