A bank branch is next door.

Also I'm part owner of a Kitchen and Bathroom company.

As you say, there is a bit of a revolving door in the business and others will behave accordingly.

Know the neighborhood, target market and the future better than others.As a long-time real estate investor, good, sound, and predictable returns vs. risk are the key factors.When presenting an investment opportunity to an investor, your presentation should demonstrate why this investmement will be a good and enduring performer in the neighborhood.It is not about the number of bedrooms or bathrooms, it is about does your investment consideration have the ability to outperform in the neighborhood with enduring results.If you seek fast money today, many old and establish investors will pass the consideration.

What sites don't often show you is abandoned warehouse across the street or the burnt out shell of a house next door or the empty retail spaces nearby.

To help explain the situation, here are some numbers:Amount on loan: $278,000Escrow Price: $270,000Location: Ontario, CaliforniaPrice of house next door for sale: $300,000 (Same size condo and lot, one less bedroom, less upgrades throughout the hosue)My plan so far is to my moms ex-boyfriend $5000-$8000 to exit escrow since he will not profit at all from the short sale.

You can't just walk out the door and loan money on real estate like the old days.

I spotted a abandoned property along a bicycle trail I ride,So I stopped and posted on the door is the bank foreclosure notice along with the details of the winterization process.

I offered 3 bedroom 2 bathroom residences with yards for less than the cost of a 1-bedroom apartment.
