So I would like to start making offers on mainly REO's by going through the listing agent.I looked at Stephs' article about finding the contact name and number of the listing agent of the property.But what's the process?????

But also there needs to be the supply in the market your looking at, or would you be going to multiple markets?

I have quad 4 unit buildings that are town homes.What I have found is it is much better to put all tile on the main floor instead of carpet or vinyl.Upstairs with the carpet it doesn't get worn down as much as the main level.When you evict a tenant with tile it is mop and go and not fixing tears in vinyl or carpet that can't be salvaged.The dirty carpets tend to attract bug problems as well.You can find tile cheap and buy a big area rug to warm it up for cheap.The key with tile is the contractors can kill you on the install fee.You have to find a contractor hungry for money.I can get tile 12 X 12 for 56 cents a sq ft.Main level I would spend about 229.60 in tiles,another 150.00 in mix for bonding and grout for finish and just put back old finish trim down and repaint.Can get a hungry contractor for 75.00 a day to tile day one and finish grout 75.00 day two.Total cost 529.60 for main level.I have 1,178 sq ft with 2 story but I leave carpet upstairs and on the stairs and tile the main.Don't pay high prices.Be patient and turn over rocks to find the great deals.

I would definitely recommend using a Google Voice number, mainly because it can't be tracked to you by the Sign Police.

I have put Texas on top of my list, next Atlanta, Chicago and then Florida.I know Texas have a nice supply of apartment buildings for sale and that is what i will be going after.Thanks more reply would be appreciated.

Modern and simple, and very much serves the main purpose of defining the spaces.

These people are in charge of fixing minor things throughout the portfolio but the main job is to coordinate and manage sub contractors that we send out to some of the larger jobs.

Try finding a mentor to work with at your local rei club.Also, you could find a contractor that may be willing to do estimates for a fee.The main thing is to have good mls comps (ARV) and an accurate rehab estimate.

MLS mainly, though I just subscribed to Loopnet with the tools.

Some folks on the site (Memphis-based, I think) were recently advocating that you shouldn't supply appliances.
