.- Loan - hard money, credit cards, personal loan, 401k loan, store cards- sell something- get a second job- live there and do the work slowly as you have money.

Yet, at the one end of the mall, they knocked down one of the former anchor store's building and put in a large new supermarket and a large Menards store, along with some other small strip malls, fast food joints, etc. so there is some hope for the future over there.The condos can sure be cash flow machines as Dawn is laying out for everyone here, that's quite a nice return there!

The ones we do remove are the ones we put say in a large church exit area or grocery store/big box store parking lot. 

Most dollar stores have for rent signs for $1-5. 

I haven't carried a balance in over 4 years.If you use it in your business responsibly you  can earn discounts at home improvement stores, free flights, or cash back.It has its place.

What the anent told me last night is one of the stores that is being bought out has a contingency that they remain very close to where they currently our.

I used to work in corporate/retail real estate and would order geotech reports for every new store being built.

And of course there are deals online with the typical big-box stores like Lowe's and Home Depot but I haven't decided if I trust them entirely yet (they royally screwed up my cabinet order on the last rehab that I did, and I wound up going to a regular custom cabinet shop instead).Laminate/Engineered Flooring and Kitchen/Bath Tile is what I'm interested in hearing from you on primarily. 

If you're making a lot of income from wholesaling or fix and flipping, this might be a benefit because it can avoid SET on part of the income.The IRS views fix and flipping and wholesaling exactly the same as running a shoe store.  

The Midwest is my pick.Especially Ohio and Michigan.Still lots of value here.With the media pimping "high unemployment" and "declining population" most institutional investors are still sleeping which is good for us smaller operators as we get to pick and choose.I feel like a kid in candy store lol.Just bought one for $25,000 that needs $20,000 in work and will sell for $100,000+Happy Days :)
