There is a REO property here in Augusta GA listed at 72 cents.

Having started out in stocks (namely, my 401k and IRA) and real estate (including notes secured by real estate), my thought is this:The analysis by which the individual investor has to perform is much easier to do and understand when it comes to real estate.I remember reading about asset allocation (US vs. foreign stocks, small vs. mid- vs. large caps companies, value vs. growth, % dedicated to REITs, precious metals/commodities, TIPS, bonds (short, mid- and long term, high quality vs. junk) and thinking "where do I start?"

There is precious little information available in this regard and I have not come across a definitive answer.I only hope that someone will find the answer to this all important question from an authoritative source or someone will come up with some kind of a revised (new approach) Contract for Deed that will circumvent the SAFE act.

Despite repeated claims that checks have been sent and wires, no money has ever been returned.I have now filed a complaint with his precious BBB, and will be filing with the State's Attorney and the Office of Financial Regulation for his fraudulent activities.Those are the facts, and I have the electronic backup to prove these statements.

Looking for deals consumes a fair amount of time, which is your most precious asset, as others have stated.

That's the half ounce mark for gold.This is a game changer for those who have been holding physical precious metals in coin or bullion form (hint, hint).

I recent cycles yes, during the main street mania phase for gold bubbles, "Americans" lined up around the block at coin shops to buy (not to sell) precious metals.

Don't let greed make you gamble with your reserves is all I'm advising....in fact, I'd put some of those reserves in physically held precious metals for two reasons - they won't deflate, and it adds an extra obstacle to spending them foolishly.There are owner-financed investment properties out there that make sense, the $10k could cover closing costs on a couple of those.

I would consider buying in Augusta which is 15 - 20 mins from Burke Co which is rural.
