I plan to come and check out the Real Estate Market in your neck of the woods.

I gotta say that's a little high, at least based on my neck of the woods but court costs are not that much, about 150 bucks.That is taking the issue to the court and having a judge approve the transfer, might be done in chambers and not even appear.

While some may be doing something in their neck of the woods it doesn't mean it is correct or compliant elsewhere.

Shane Woods We are off topic here, but these mobiles on land, while they cash flow great, are hard to finance.

Stay out of the hood.In low income properties, remove the following:Ceiling fansgarbage disposaldishwasherCarpetStorm doorsCloset doorsTowel racksMini blindsPretty much anything that moves or has pull chainsI use the exact same paint for all my rentalsSolid wood doors (a single punch and a hollow core one is toast)Door stops behind the doorsCaulk the crap out of the bathroomMake tenants in houses responsible for cutting the grassTenants responsible for any clogged pipes unless caused by rootsTenants responsible for any glass breakage

Sadly, that just hasn't proven to be true in my neck of the woods.

I have received most of my deals from relationships I have developed with REO brokers as well as asset managers.Over the last year, I started playing the MLS numbers game as well in an effort to get more deals in this tight market.I have developed a new system to allow me to play the MLS game most efficiently and successfully which I will be sharing soon.I am a firm believer that relationship building is key to getting deals.In addition, if you are not working the short sale market (at least in my neck of the woods) you are really limiting your chances of getting deals as REO's are much harder to come by for rehab investors, the spreads are thin and the inventory is small.

What are you typing in the search box, Shane Woods?

Jerry Woods When they say owners, I thought they meant like homeowners who lived in the house.

Dogs can go work wood floors over pretty quickly.
