@Anson Young I did a bit of research and there is talk of a bill in IN that would force meth contaminated homes to be listed online.

Greeley is real business friendly and has oil & gas + the University.For me I'm just looking for the best deal I can get to force equity with a fix up and lock in fixed interest rate debt, so I don't have much of a preference between cities.

Dont force your deals if they do not make sense.

Under that same idea, your pre-occupancy, the Seller really should want to play nice with you since, you could likely force them to run a full eviction just to make their lives difficult.

Walk away.Seller financing is not a way to force a property into being a good deal.

I have similar motivations to many of those that have already posted, but that great feeling of completing a deal, knowing I am doing something for myself (and my family) is a major driving force.

But I forced myself to go the next day.Talking on the phone is just like learning to ride a bike.

My wife has excellent income, but her credit sucks, so I am forced to leave her off all loan apps.

You absolutely should estimate you ROI, (or cash on cash return) but other factors like appreciation potential, potential for updside management, forced appreciation, or high equity because of a below market price, all need to be factored in.In my area I see many negative cash flow deals.

The change in status will allow these investment firms to take deposits, which in turn will provide them a steady source of financing, Both institutions had come under pressure ever since the bankruptcy filing last week by investment bank Lehman Brothers and the forced sale of investment bank Merrill Lynch to Bank of America.We may see more mergers coming in the financial sector, Watch for Wachovia Bank.
