Hi there,

I'm just doing a little survey. I want to know what people(both experienced and beginner investors) see as the biggest obstacle or problem faced by people starting out as creative RE investors. It's for a...

I guess my main concern is finding real legit information.

Does anyone know what are some concerns that I should take into consideration before making an offer on a property that has been, according to the agent, vacant for many years?

The main concern that lenders have is that the property will again end up in default.

Probably the best post ive read anywhere concerning real estate.

ROI without appreciation: -24.11%Cash on cash: -8.20%I know Zillow.com is not an accurate barometer, but it has the property valued at ~$160,000, and comps put it in the $150K range on a per square foot basis.This seems like a good deal to me because of the discounted purchase price, but the negative numbers in the analysis concern me very much.Advice, thoughts, concerns???

Stay away from the extreme North because the new construction will pound you when it comes to selling your house.

A seller becomes extremely liable (upto $250 per day from the day of closing) if stringent rules are not followed precisely.

As it happens, I am very concerned about my tenants - many Sec 8 voucher holders reside at my building and several of them are model tenants.

Probably could either lease or flip with little concern and decent return.
