(I am not sure this is the real reason, just my estimation)Originally posted by Lee Ali:The best properties to buy in the next few years are:- Apartment buildings. - Self storage. - Mobile homes.Other commercial will be volatile.Care to elaborate on this opinion?

I've been approached by some who have asked me to send them copies of checks that I have made with this program and then after they see this they would join my team....My answer has always been...Not a chance!

You shouldn't even need an estimate to prove it!

-to-mo.)Year Built: 1964All information includes both buildings.Estimated Value: $529,794Estimated Cost of Repairs: $250,000 (Professional estimate)Estimated ARV: $840,000Each building sold in 2005 for $450,000 for a total of $900,000Recent sales in the area with 2,000-4,000 less sq. ft. sold for average of $756,000.Thank you for your help in advance.

With it needing new roof and pool redo, those are two large items most end buyers will not want to tackle and thus your chances of getting a low end offer are better on this.

And by using a comparable sales method. its estimated to be worth approx. 34,000.

In other words, how many units are CURRENTLY vacant, not an average or estimated 5%. 5% would mean that less than 1 unit would have a vacancy each year which is practically impossible.Who pays the utilities?

Take a chance, 5 months is a long time to have a vacant home.

I estimated garage repairs for demo and putting up an aluminum shed or carport.

They both need work, estimates not determined but I'd put it on the high end.
