Some risky investments might advertise a high cap rate but that's because they are trying to sell a risky property.

You should check the advertised listing for the May 23rd Levy County Tax deed sale to see if the property is scheduled for sale, and also with the recorder’s office with the former owner’s name to see what comes up.

All I have taken a few steps back to re-evaluate things.I am struggling with some fundamental issues here.OK the reason I have had so much success with my return calls is because I did NOT do  the "tried and proven" techniques.

He's willing to owner finance.My exit strategy is to find a buyer with a much larger down and collect the difference in the down because his monthly is high and I probably couldn't get enough spread to make it worth a sandwich lease option.The thing is, he's already advertising on all the real estate sites (zillow.com, fsbo.com, etc) and I want the buyers to go through me.  

Maybe instead of opening up for showings, I can start advertising, pictures attached of everything completed, and just say it's ready say Nov 15 or something, while renovations are finishing up..That way, there is no question about if it's really new laminate, new renovation or I'm just saying it to market it better - this way they realize that reno work is really going on for real, which I think is good - to make them be excited to be the first tenants to be there after the reno.

In Louisiana if you call a tow truck company and request them to move from PRIVATE property (after you own it), they will typically remove it at no cost and then they take the responsibility of advertising to sell the car per the law.

However, I'm one of the few people that advertise rentals online in my market so there is little competition and I see no reason to pay $300 for a pro when I'm already leaps beyond everyone else.

Study some wholesaling and lease option techniques also.

They last time I had to advertise was for a 2bdrm 1ba house, the only one I own in the 39204 zip code.

Maybe you should spend less time whining about how other people make their money, and worry about how you can show more people how to avoid paying taxes like you advertise on your website Mr.
