Reed's advice is top notch and timeless.

A must read... even if you have been in this business a long time, there has got to be at least one piece of info on here that you haven't seen, I am almost sure of it!

Hello,There is a piece of property in an Urban Area that has ground floor retail and 8 apartments, all vacant.

If you are indeed new to this Rick, I should mention that EM is just a piece of the puzzle.

The process in buying a foreclosure wasn't a piece of cake by no means and there were some uncomforable bumps in the road and the waiting I think was the worse part as patience isn't my strongest points.

Bob,These are by far the most disturbing pieces of literature I have read!

Here is a piece of Vermont.http://www.huffingtonpost.com/good-magazine/vermont-most-likely-to-s_b_84820.htmlWhich was last Feb.

Screening is a pretty minor piece of the renting effort.

Shana some markets are not rental markets at all.In those cases you invest in other markets where you can leverage your returns from your higher income in a more healthy market.Example if you had 300k cash and you could buy 12 properties at 25,000 each that rented for 700 a piece for 8,400 a month could you get the same return in Canada buying a 300k house??

Have all the pieces in place but as usual looking for funding and advice.
