3. when i looked up "liens and mortgage doc" i see there was a pending case for about 50k. is there a way to find out if more info on this in terms of its role in the house.4. whats the typical process and strategies used for auction.com -- do people tend to fire when its expiring down,j if i bid and lose is there any deposit taken on my end?

I would say you can do better in terms of ROI.Get a feel of what is possible in your market in terms of ROI. 

I'm looking more in terms as cash flowing.

Talha,What were you thinking in terms of?

Will keeping this property hamstring you in terms of funds to get there?

In terms of the "move-in special," the way I saw it here was that she knew she had to get into the house because she had travel plans, but instead of being upfront about it, starting the lease date a day or two earlier, she wanted it for free.

In terms of cash flow, there are duplexes and 1-4 unit properties that will give you a good return, especially in locations where new businesses are popping up, both by the beach and more inland. 

When I began I thought in terms of personal property as well, thinking if they are dumb enough to sell to me that's fine by me.

In terms of the actual location, maybe call a competing PM and get their opinion on the level of rehab and rent rate you could expect.

Is there anything else i'm missing that I need to think about in terms of this musty air?
