It's a nice home in one of the most desirable sections of town, and they don't come that cheap EVER. 

When I overtook the house just yesterday, I had found that they stole my washer and dryer and in the process tore up the vinyl flooring, not real cheap stuff, but with the backing, because I used to live there and put it down myself.

It won't take nearly as many properties to support a frugal lifestyle in a cheap area as it will take to support a jet-setter lifestyle in South Beach or NYC.

of small claims but it is a cheap way to get a good chunk of change.

I live in first floor unit so I can refinish upstairs floors then attack noise issue from my unit via sheetrock layers or sound dampening fixtures that attach to joist (large project and not cheap).

Thanks for the post Rick@Robert Taylor: You have reminded me that just because all those "cheap" properties 1,000's of miles away from me look good, I should think twice and stick to areas I know / live closer to.

Google adwords is ripoff.Google lures you in with a cheap PPC rate, like 10 cents, and before you know it, they have you up to $1 or more claiming your were outbid.You have people, too, who will click on your ad repeatedly to max you out and get you off the site.Moreover, paid "ads" are heavily discounted for credibility by the cyber community which makes it even a bigger waste of money.Other than that, it's great.

I like that more states are clamping down on fake service dogs, but with these online doctor's letters for cheap just by filling out a form, no visit necessary, I think it's only going to get worse.

Drywall repair is cheap.

So, if you can find the deals you can make a lot of money wholesaling.A lot of people in this area put up bandit signs...very cheap and can get a lot of visibility.
