I downloaded this software called freemind so I can create a sort of flow chart that breaks down the process of whatever I want the VA to do for me.

When I first looked into investing in real estate (I only have one SFH in a low income neighborhood right now) It was pointed out that one of the biggest disadvantages of multi-unit properties is that your buyer's pool is WAY limited when you want to sell.

I am pleased to announce that as of 12/1 I am no longer in danger of insolvency and after paying back my "friendly" loans I am charted on a course in 2012 to be back to normal.

Your funds will be added to the pool and when it comes to a vote - your vote will be trumped by the "small group" vote and over time any and all funds you put into the deal will seep into the other investors pockets.

jim --haha too funny...for those of you who don't know, jim and i met through biggerpockets and are currently flipping a home together...soon it'll be finished, sold, and jim and i will be posting the pics and success story over a few drinks while in vegas :)don--yes this is one of those 'artsy' areas :) they seem to be in high demand to a good pool of buyers..young professionals with clean credit, strong income, and not many debts are getting fha financing pretty easy over in my area...there is a dishwasher to the left of the oven..can you make it out from the pics??

A totally vacant property is usually MUCH HARDER to turn around than a property that is semi-performing.I consider vacant property to be almost like commercial development in that you are overhauling a site and property loaded with risk and long time periods before cash flowing.In the end you can do well but also lose your shirt.With the 16 unit I would take it a step further in your analysis.If 900 to 1100 is the going rent make sure it is accurate.For instance do your competitors have laundry in the room,pools on site,basketball courts,next to work commute,restaurants,etc.

The entire community has the sameclubhouse,gym room, swimming pool and couple of tennis courts.

It just seems to happen more with illegals because just crossing over they pool resources and don't know residential codes and laws (or don't care - as I would argue since they've already broken many already.

However, an experienced agent with a large pool of buyers and aggressively markets the property is probably going to get your home sold more quickly and for more money.Supply & demand seem to indicate that the more buyers your property is exposed to the more quickly it will sell & the more money it should sell for.
