You can buy one lottery ticket and win a million dollars but just because it is possible doesn't mean it is a good business model.I wish I had started in Real Estate when I was your age.

But it does seem like a possible way to buy with little money down..I wonder if the process would be easier than buying a traditional REO with financing as the financing in this case is provided by the seller.

I compiled a bunch of excerpts for my blog, was wondering if there were any reactionsHow much does your traditional real estate agent make?

The income produced from the asset alone will not be enough.This of course assumes we are speaking about traditional financing and not any creative strategies.

If the owner won't talk to you, it's over, at least as far as a traditional sale is concerned.

I have (what I consider) a good chunk of change sitting in a traditional IRA.

Most money made in traditional investments such as stocks, bonds, commodities, and mutual funds are always passive, so 3% ROI means 3% ROI.

I would suggest buying a lottery ticket now.

I'm not an expert on this but if you are looking at modular homes I would compare their cost to that of traditional stick built.

You can usually tell because if you click on the deed, it will be a "Certificate of Title" instead of a traditional deed.
