Obviously homes that get sold like this are going to need work, but has anyone else ever tried buying / rehabbing one of these homes?

The sellers have a tendency to show nice photos if scenery that is 30--60 miles, or even more, away and represent it as local.Also, prices for those on line "bargains" are usually considerably higher than you would pay if you went and bought from a local realtor.I have no idea whether the piece of land you are considering is a good one, or a good price.... and neither do you.

:mrgreen: The thing that you have to understand is that with the different markets you're going to need to focus on different types of properties.

A NICE LEASE/OPTION MARKET RIGHT NOW.

Nice one.

This person decided he did not want to be a landlord and just wanted to resell and make quick money.This worked best for his situation, he purchased the house without competition and got a great price then sold it a month later for a nice profit.Marcwww.greenfieldent.com

Nice people, but they had converted 2 bedrooms to chicken coops!

nice and clean.

Nice to have someone helpful like yourself around.
