That was this wks lesson (been in it 12 yrs)I haven't decided if will consider this deal, or walk away....I have enough headache in multiple commercial owners situation (shopping center).

Bought vacant commercial retail shop space.

This could be the neighborhood of $70 to $100 or more per month per phone in the family.

I'm interested in purchasing a 2 story townhome in a class A neighborhood. its a 2 br/ 2.5 bath.

Drive the neighborhoods and look for those beat up houses with deferred maintenance.

I like FloridaMoves mostly because it allows for custom search by zip codes, so if there is a specific neighborhood I am interested in, I can use zip codes and ask for alerts when a property within my strike price range etc...are available.I request a daily email compiling all for that day, and look through it once a day.What I am curious is for those who do not have direct access to it, what site do you use to be kept on the changes to MLS?

Neighborhood is decent.I'm putting the cash ROI with 30% down at 5K in immediate improvements at about 20%.

[/b]The House:5 Bed 2 bath Double WideCarpet and Tile Storm Cellar Good Neighborhood ( according to her)No Major Repairs ( according to her)I asked what would she like to get for it?

I am in the process of scrutinizing my local market for a complete understanding of sales, rents, neighborhoods and opportunities.

Either way, you should take a shop vac and hit every nook and cranny.
