you just have to factor in the competition - that's out there sucking up as many deals as possible - take a look around, you'll start to see all the activity of fellow investors in your area.have you considered joining your local rei club?

I don't have a next property in mind other than wanting to be more active in REI and making our capital work harder.

As for me, I was fortunate enough to buy a condo (to live in) well under market value when I moved to Atlanta a little over two years ago and after about $6,000 in improvements, I've already seen quite a return on my investment.If I end up staying in Atlanta, I'm planning to sell or refi the condo I'm currently living in to purchase additional real estate and become an active investor.

And, that kind of activity is what makes it hard for the honest working people to get past the damage done.BTW: If any of those empty properties has a swimming pool, I have an end buy in wanting a place in Houston.

We apologize in advance for this activity and will do our best to stay on top of it.

please don't blame me when there are drips... or the floors are ruined...or the room where you kept the cooler gets 15 layers and the other rooms don't get touched....or when you run out of paint before your finished because of all the spills...come to think of it these parties are alot more fun as a guest than as a host!
