What stats do you follow on a regular basis and how does it help your investing business?

My best advice would be to check craigslist and the auction sites on the regular.

No company is perfect by any means but if your looking for excellent customer service and a quality product from a reputable company you might want to contact @Chris Clothier who is a regular here also.

@Tim OConnor - to echo what @Jeremiah B. said, there really is not a big supply of the 4-12 unit properties in the Charlotte market.  

Hey Derek,BP newbie here, but I'm already an investor--and in your area too.It does sound like it would need to be a rental, so I would look at either owner financing--which might be a tough sell, or regular financing with a slightly higher price and 3% cash back toward closing.  

And a very experienced landlord from whom I have learned quite a bit is going through a similar thing with refrigerators where he never previously supplied them but now has five vacant units going unfilled; the nearby landlords are now including refrigerators of course. 

This area doesn't work for me because I have a specific target individual in mind that I supply housing too and these people do not CHOOSE to reside in Joliet.

I hope to become a regular contributor to the forums and meet some of you.

He can be so bad with buyers, at one point we made a rule that he was not allowed to interact directly with buyers because he was scaring the you know what out of them regularly.
