I would bet that more often than not, you also have more flexibility as well.Also, while I don't have experience finding a mentor (mine is my Dad), a good mentor is INVALUABLE.

If it is raised foundation, I bet a few of those piers need to be replaced.

I would definitely recommend going with Buildium.Oh, one other thing worth mentioning is that I had originally set Buildium aside when researching options because it doesn't sync with QuickBooks, and I originally had that in my must-have features column.

@Gino Barbaro everyone is looking for safer bets, but the higher the cap rate the higher to risk or more work that will need to be done to turn it around.One reason people are able to buy at a lower CAP rate and keep profitable in our areas is due to banks finance the safer deals (lower CAP) at higher levels.

I have a property that has it, and I bet the siding is over 100 years old and in very good condition.

Don't let a listing agent sit on a ratified contract until 6 pm, as they are sometimes wont to do.You can try to time things and bet on this to continue or get worse (thus making rates better), but generally "a good day" is a good time, and trying to daytrade for "the BEST day" is a losing proposition.

I would bet a bid of right about $16,500 would get you the property.

Even if you find a creative agent the chances the one representing the seller will be as well and will advise their client to consider that kind of deal is pretty unlikely.Your best bet will be to market directly to sellers.

Huy Thai while its possible there is a scam there my bet is that it’s likely investors trying to implement some kind of seller finance strategy.

The best bet is to make your property more secure then neighboring properties.
