It's really a great strategy.I wrote an entry back in the beginning of November on my blog called What Everyone Needs to Know to Manage in This Market.

I'm trying to buy one of these houses at ground level and seem I can't break the barrier to entry. 

There is a misconception that this is a cheap entry into property acquisition - where it actually can be quite complicated in Florida.

We posted a 24 hour notice of entry yesterday and today my husband found the two cats as well as an ashtray full of cigarette butts (we have a no-pet/no-smoking policy).

While realtor.com should provide the most accurate account for MLS listings, users still find errors in realtor.com... most stemming from broker data entry errors.

So easy for tenants to change the handset/deadbolt themselves--they keep the expensive locks and landlord is back at square one.For buildings with common entry, spend a bit more and use a smart pushbutton lockset. 

The reason this happens, is too few people recognize the cost of repairs or, decide they will eat that money as the "entry fee" to ownership, and figure it out later.

These types of benefits allow investors to get into the real estate investment world more easily as it lowers the barrier to entry a little bit more.

San Pedro is the last frontier in the LA/South Bay area where there is a lot of development and still low barrier to entry to finding a decent priced home.
