As far as the eye can see there is building now.

I live in beautiful Eastern Idaho, recently celebrated my 23rd wedding anniversary, have two wonderful children and loving life.I recently became involved in real estate investing, I have been studying it for the last couple of years.

If you FSBO you can offer broker protection and pay 3% to any agent who wishes to get involved.

I always keep an eye out for cheap/free washers and dryers and then offer to sell them to tenants when they move in.

At the very best chance of an "outsider" getting involved in this busienss would be to work for a developer.

I might be wrong here (I'm also a Realtor so I get the exception already) but if you are actively involved in the management of your properties, defined by some level of effort maybe 500 hours a year, then you too are exempt from the passive losses limit--essentially because they are not passive, they are from something in which you are actively engaged.If you do your own property management, fix-it stuff, and finances, you are probably exempt from the $25,000 / yr limit.

What ever you do, be sure to have a good paint respoerator, eye protection and clothes that can protect your skin pores when first working in the area.

We just became aware of this development and met with the agents involved onsite yesterday.

Typically a good marketing campaign would involve 3 to 6 letters or post cards.

Court house auctions involve too many unknowns since you cannot inspect prior to sale.
