If your rental is near a military base - a great way to rent is to advertise in the housing office on base.

He just offered 25% less than the asking price on each one, trusting that the listing agents were pricing these homes somewhere near the actual value, and so assured that he had a good deal if the seller accepted.Sometimes a seller would accept his lowball offer.

I live in Essex County Massachusetts, ie: near Boston, Camridge.

Near the resorts with the only access road going right through the resorts.

If you went that route, you'd be making about $150/month and for the time you spent driving back and forth and dealing with problems, you'd have picked up another job, not an investment.There are plenty of areas in the country where you can buy for less than that, have someone manage them and not have nearly as much leveraged.Does that make sense?

Because if it isn't then I may as well just sell all my holdings and pay the piper.( I want out because the mortgages are nearly paid and I've had enough of maintenace and tenants!)

I do know that St.Louis and KC have clubs, but with a full time job it is going to be nearly impossible for me to attend one that far away.

So All Cash....Are you saying that agents in So California should keeptheir licenses for all the HUGE foreclosures that are goingto go on there in the near future?

At that point I new I was either in for them not paying in the future or constant lateness which was already happening.

Near Jacksonville, NC - there is one a couple hours away in Wilmington and I plan on going in the near future, but it all depends on when my husband is working and when he is off because we only have one vehicle.
