My wife and I paid off all debt except our primary mortgage and are pulling in just over 200k a year.

But you should be able to get the same comps from zillow or realtor.com that you could from MLS.I'm sure the filtering is far, far better on MLS based on some of the comps my realtor pulls for me from time to time.

Also if you are flexible enough that you can also take in roommates in your unit then you could end up living free and maybe pull out a little money too.Look around on BiggerPockets and read the main blog and listen to the BP Podcasts and be active in the forums.

I am going to sue Pottery Barns and Ikea ther catalogues are so heavy I pulled a hamstring handling their mail.

This allowed me to get the new valuation and pull cash out.

May be new washing machine hoses, may be all brand new drawer pulls, or a new microwave...whatever.So this year I picked up a couple of dozens of USB wall receptacles from an online sale, and I noticed everyone likes to charge their tablets and phones on the kitchen counter.

Code violations can possible lead to motivated seller's, contact them to see what their situation is and provide a solution.

If you have a property like that, I will jump on it and "pull the trigger" even if you don't have the cash or even the financing.

You have to really know you want it before you pull the trigger and make an offer on a HUD property.

Its not fair to the tenants to be living in the conditions they are but at the same time if the owner wants out or has issues maintaining the property then maybe theres a solution to his problem??
