But here is one of my methods:What: Drive neighborhoods.

Dealt with selling vacant lots that had great potential for growth and appreciation.

I already have the one unit rented out, I was telling someone I knew that I had the place under contract and was going to be buying it and he asked me about it, looked at the listing to see the pics of the inside and did a drive by and said he'd take it.

Our site has been experiencing tremendous growth, and this growth has led to a difficult day.

I started thinking about what am I doing this for and why am I doing this again and how much work I was going to have to do over the next two weeks.So all this stuff was rolling around in my head and I'm driving home from work with nothing on the radio (I usually have a REI podcast or audio book in) just thinking about all that's going to happen and I start dwelling on the what-ifs then it dawns on me as I'm driving down the road that that number on the bottom of the statement is smaller than what most people spend on a car.

However, northwest San Antonio is exploding with growth, most of the buyers being wealthy foreigners from Mexico, its as if the subprime slime doesn't even phase the Austin and San Antonio markets, I love seeing even 8-12% /year gains on this current slowdown where Glendale, California people are selling 50-60 K below market value just to be able to sell.

Done correctly the old property will cash flow and you can grow the portfolio.

If your two hours away then the attorneys can fedex paperwork back and forth to you if you can't drive that far for whatever reason.

Here would be my background: Several years ago I purchased a 10 acreparcel, split it into smaller lots, and sold them, after having only to put ina private dirt road/drive, and pay for surveys and perk testing.

Drive around your area and find any rentals.
