All you need is to put an ad in craigslist right now saying handyman special, fixer upper, investor special, etc... and you will sell it.  

Maybe MLS is different from state to state but in Florida we can (and I do all the time) keyword searches - searching both public and Realtor only remarks in listings.I search for keywords like "investor, asis, fixer-upper" and have "keyword hotsheets" set up that I check about ever four hours.

Hi everyone, My husband and I are going to be looking for our first home in Arizona and I want to know if it would be a good idea to buy a fixer upper and how do I go about doing everything.  

You will always have people trying to drag you down or keep you at their level.

I have been a typical landlord who is just now embracing social media to take my business to the next level as an aspiring rehabber.

IE, if you had two FHA loans (second due to moving for work more than 100 miles), could you still get four conventional loans for investment property with the easier qualifying, and 6 more at the more difficult level?  

If the area is truly increasing in value, homes will have to start going for at least a little over what the comps might suggest.I would really check into the rental market and try to decide how easy it will be to maintain that level of cash flow.Are you talking about 5% over market or 50% over market?

I have been afforded a lot of up and downs highs and lows with doing this level of investing.

If I were you I would just go and have a talk with the guy, find out if he is just cheap and thinks hes not hurting anyone or if he is broke and this is the only way he can afford power.Maybe just go and explain to the guy that what he is doing is stealing and if he doesn't stop and get the power turned on in his name you will have to take this to a more serious level.

How we were taught was to look at a macro level and work down to a micro level, doing that indicates the activity first and drills down to specific applicable laws, regulations and rules.
