Originally posted by Account Closed:rich getting rich while poor getting poorer.It's not too surprising to me that human beings respond this way to 6 years of constant attacks by the current administration and 6 years of the promotion of class warfare and driving wedges into our society creating and reinforcing a us and them mentality.Being made the scape goat, being made a target both socially and financially, all the while writing bigger and bigger checks to the government every year could actually extinguish some charitable desires.This to me is just a natural end result and more evidence that the current administration continually lacks any ability to connect the dots and understand simple cause and effect.

All of these also create a need for workers and many of these fit the target demographic of the ideal renter.If you are looking at the greater Kansas City area for investment purposes, this is an area that deserves attention and will not require that you wait 10 years while the area improves.Happy hunting.Paul Higbie

This would be the first time question to post - and reader of many posts, I'm a student of RE for the past nearly (2) yrs.The strategy is to wholesale a property and target to net $5-10k to a buy & hold investor.  

But this was almost 2 months ago now (1st buyer backed out of the deal so I had to re-list it) and prices have continued to grow in the mean time.So if I am understanding your explanation correctly, my agent should have provided the appraiser comps that are higher than the $240K we were shooting for, even if those comps were different, like being 4 bedroom SFRs and the appraiser would value down those comps to get to our target price.

Greetings, What would be the best criteria for a Realtor to use when creating a mailing list for a neighborhood you are farming and want to target the home owners in that neighborhood who are most likely to sell?

It's easier to run your product past a targeted group that's already self-selected as opposed to the open market. 

Agree with the above points, and also would add you might guide your search with your target market (tenant) in mind.....

There will be some people who this will really appeal to, but not everyone, and it will likely be less important at the lower price point I assume this home is at.I'd either apply the money elsewhere, or hold on to it so you can sell the house for cheaper and still hit your return targets.

You may know that the target property has development potential and the current owner is deceased and their family will sell - or some other special knowledge that is not obvious3.

My target for every note I buy, at least non performing is a minimum yield of 20% per annum.
