Rehabbing feeds into rentals because a make ready on a rental is a piece of cake for a good rehab contractor.I would say there are multiple components to analyze to determine which single or combination is a good fit for you.

Six weeks ago or so I saw a newfeed on reotrans.com (as an agent, I'm a member) about them "combining forces", as they termed it, with BoA for handling all their short sales.

I would think a well put together website would do wonders and yet not a single one popped up using a combination of search terms...Is there a reason for this?

Then itd be on to figuring out the seo and google adwords strategy.

A good combination of motion-detector lights and dusk-to-dawns will make the place feel a lot safer.

The basis for the roof is NOT blended into the original depreciation basis for the dwelling structure, nor, are the two depreciation schedules combined.  

If you need $10K/month (net b4 taxes) to retire on, then the combination of SFR single or multi, based on fair market rents will help you sort that out.

You have to compliant with your real estate commission advertising rules.As far as websites usually if it is not a company paid for site you would own it.If you have a high ranking SEO site upon changing brokers you would simply delete their logo and add the new brokerages logo to be in compliance for advertising rules.This is not legal advice so check in your area.Be wary of brokers saying "everything is FREE".What they are really doing is incubating you where you are using their websites,business cards,etc.

If so, many of the agents who were doing their weekend schedules on Friday afternoon may have missed it.If you have more than two weekends without traffic, then you need to consider that you are not priced correctly, the listing isn't attractive, your marketing isn't working, or a combination of those factors.

The reality of this is it's not surprising.The fact that they cleaned the inside living in it that long is a miracle.Usually people that have lived somewhere 10,15,20 years etc. accumulate a ton of junk.This is why when a bank forecloses and they offer the former owner 2,000 to leave in "broom swept condition" many times they seller will deny the cash for keys.The reason is most likely they are downsizing and the amount of money to rent trash bins and pay a truck to move their extra stuff combined with storage rental fees is a losing proposition.They come out way ahead by simply leaving all the trash there and sell off the rest and taking the leftover essentials to the next place.We would see this all the time on the REO side.If they didn't have much stuff and only lived there a few years cash for keys was more successful.You would need to prove they dumped it there.I would just get it hauled away and move on.If it's a short sale at least in my area the former owners are on the verge of bankruptcy and it's a waste of time and energy to go after them.
