I need to know what I need to do to really get the information on it so I can present it, and obtain knowledge for future investments.OK, now for my second issue, I have relatives who have land in a town called Caryville, FL.

Just wondering what % do you hope for and get on letters, postcards or flyers you mail out to a targeted audience say to pre-foreclosure, foreclosure, out of town owners, disgruntled landlords, etc.?

Brand new Town homes 2-3 bed 2-3 bath $110,000 - $160,000 You can have them rented out before you close escrow .

A standard width for a well laid out floor plan of a typical town home is 24' to 30' which means you should be able to get 3 units on the site, you have to allow for an access drive to the rear parking/garage area.

One developer in town lies to owners and tells them he's going to live in their house, then he cuts off the back lot and builds another house facing the back street.

The fact is I do feel that these questions are stupid especially the later because there is nothing clear and cut in RE things and situations change one investors clam to fame may not work in the VERY next town over.

As long as your city isn't becoming a ghost town there are still people buying houses.

(do you need permits for any of the work - call the town to ask GENERAL INFORMATION about permits and such).k, so 12k in repairs and let's say 12k in closing costs = 24,000now let's just saaaayy, you'll have a mortgage payment, and i'll just throw a number out there to save time and typing = 2500 month (includes PITI)and you plan WORST CASE SCENARIO OF HOLDING TIME - 6 MONTHS= 15,000you sell it with a realtor = 3% comm at 300k = 9,000add it up = 48000 total cost of project soup to nutsso, you buy for 239k + 48,000 = 287,000 sell for 300k...profit = 13kbasic but you get the point - try this: you probably shouldn't pay more than 180,000 for it.

Being in the suburbs, i am not sure that i want to look in the actual city due to the time of the drive down there and the fact I don't know much of the town (i have not lived here all my life).

Looking to purchase, rehab and flip REOs and short sales in the Brockton area and surrounding towns.
