I have plenty of capital but my FICO is very low (in the 500 range).

What the CAP rate is at any one time or any one market varies.There is still plenty of room for prices to vary based on what someone things they are dealing with (are the numbers real) and if they see room for improvement (change or use, upgrades, stabilize the rent roll if there is a high vacancy factor).Note that you rarely get actual expense number.

.:)I have friends who have had great success with getting involved with Investment Companies at first to learn and understand the market and how it works, then they branch into opening thier own property management company, then creating thier thier own little REI groups.I think it is something that requires steps and plenty of education.

There are plenty of effective methods of web advertising outside Google ads.

Or there are plenty of other properties to buy as an owner so buying a conversion is not that attractive.The exception is more likely to happen when there are restrictions on new build (city center, historic areas, etc).John Corey

Give the attorney plenty of time to get your paperwork in order but an amendment should work I believe.

I have had plenty of deadbeats try to shmooze their way in.

The only reason I used my home's equity is because it only cost me about $175 to close the deal v/s all the closing costs associated with a commercial loan.Our home is currently on the market (for about a week now) and the sell will pay the mortgage off, the equity line, and leave plenty of cash for a nice down payment in the next home as well as pay off a lot of other debt.The property has only been ready to lease for a couple of weeks now.

I'm not going to get into the CFD fine points here, some research on the forum will turn up plenty of discussions.
