Walmart just built a super center about a mile away and the area, I think, is going to grow more in the next few years.

In the meantime, I kept up appearances and made sure it didn't LOOK vacant; i.e. blinds on the windows (you can get cheap, basic ones from Walmart for a couple of bucks), I kept a light or two on around the clock, and I let the next-door neighbor park in the driveway so it looked like someone was always home. 

I buy my paint from Walmart, and the hardwood from kuantum flooring (I may of misspelled it), but its at 6061 state street.

In reality you don't find deals at Wal-Mart, the market dictates what and when you find something, just buy as you can and consider the holding costs of the time needed on the current property.If you end up with too many, start hiring. :)

In my opinion anything other than a .com you are wasting money.Years ago I did the .net,.org thing and was a waste of money.You can make a .net,.org successful but it is much harder to grow than a .comA big debate currently is .mobi domains for (mobile) applications.At first everyone was jumping on it but now I see big companies still use .com instead and they have a mobile version of their website that fits the phone screens.So if they have decided not to do .mobi than usually they have spent a bunch of money testing it.This is the same with commercial real estate.Developers watch to see if a Wal-mart if going in.Wal-mart spends massive amounts of money and time on feasibility studies that go out 5 years in site selection.So the little guys let Wal-mart do the heavy lifting with the studies.Targeted marketing always out pulls general sites.Take FOR INSTANCE biggerpockets.com.The message is a place for investors to meet up to discuss investing in real estate.That is the primary mission it seems to me.If it just said biggerrealestate.com and was a free for all for everything users would be pouring over content not relevant to them.So I would have multiple niches but FIRST get one niche going to where you have systems in place and on auto-pilot generating business every month THEN add another niche in to build multiple streams of revenue.You will have multiple sources of income when one stream dips a little the other is really good and they average out.It will also give you a trackable,salable business where you show the business generates xx on it's own.If YOU are the business then you have nothing to sell.

After reading about the Wal-mart shootings and the pepper spraying on the internet this morning - figured it was a good day to stay away from the stores. 2 dead and 15 sprayed in one incident with an upset lady shopper.

Been doing it with Altria, Walmart, Coke for awhile now.PG

If I lose that, running down to Walmart and making $8/hr isn't going to put a dent in my bills.
