These can usually spotted because the price is very low compared to other rentals in the area.Apparently enough people fall for this to make it worthwhile for the scammers.

i funded I think 4 deals in Marion we lost money on each and every one of themif your just wholesaling or whatever your doing and just in and out.. should be fine but for long term buy and hold pretty tough spot.. at least it was 7 to 8 years ago when I was active there.  

If one has established relationship with HML one can get loan commitment in a day, in an hour or even on the spot.

Bill said "I ain't crawling under the house in the pouring rain at 3 in the morning!"   

And remember running in circles there through a packed gym  in rocks springs under the spot lights when they played eye of the tiger for wrestling meets..like late 80's....Looks like you are off to a great start...I am definitely going to check out your blog.....and send you a colleague message.Best of luck

We do it all the time with very few problems then again we have a good relationship with our Title rep who will help us when we get in a tight spot... 

Steven,Welcome and you came to the right spot if you want to learn about Investing.Good luck and have fun.

I think Port Richmond is another good spot for buy and hold investing.

Spot on.

It is right by Clear Lake (brackish lake that feeds into the GoM) and Pasadena, Texas is less than 15 minutes away (where all the refineries are).I think it's the perfect spot for a condo that I can use as a corporate rental or vacation rental.My biggest concern is working away.
