Again, just my opinion.I think the southeast is a very popular area for investors.

The drum type sander will have more weight over the head and will get down to bare wood easier.

I also want to add nearby properties within a manageable distance from the farm for buy and hold/rent - perhaps something on the coast in a popular Chilean vacation area.

I allow pet based on size/breed and adult weight for additional non refundable pet fee or pet rent ($25.00 per month) added to the monthly rent.

I'd bet that "I don't like looking at the neighbors" is going to hold much weight.

- Get rid of all personal items and all family pictures (just neutral furniture and accessories)- Turn on lights before every showing- Open blinds before every showing- Create a flyer with all positive attributes of the house/neighborhood/area/etc- Make sure it smells nice- Paint your front door (it's the first thing the buyer will notice of the "interior"- Leave on a stereo or iPod with speakers playing some soothing/popular music

I understand private borrowing may be a popular answer.

Value on a property often has to do with location and popularity aka demand of buyers.

For many folks living in high priced areas where small investors are completely priced out of REI, our choices are:1) stay out of REI completely2) invest in notes or HML3) invest out of state While I appreciate & give great weight to the advice of seasoned investors like Jon Holdman who caution against investing out of state, I think it can still be highly profitable as long as one fully understands the risks and plans for contingencies.

Colorado had become very popular with the entire U.S. and people around the world.
