The property will have to be listed for a short time (they'll play games so your contract gets submitted, as long as it's reasonable).

They don't seem like they play nice or communicate well.

You seem to have a great system in play and I would really like to emulate your strategy especially being that it was what I originally wanted to do.

What role do you think staging played in the listing?

BUT when outside investors do not have to play by the same rules it is hard to compete.

I do not think that the underground anything would have played a part as I was AS-IS and this house is about 45 minutes from my home and well yeah, they just don't have those problems / issues in that neighborhood.

So, to invest there would be solely for the appreciation play in my opinion and I would wait to see how this Turner thing starts panning out first, actually more so the potential developments there.

Then the bank may want more time to see how your industrial real estate plays out and may refuse to use your rental income from your industrial tenant till maybe the first tax year or two depending on the lender.

Im thinking of buying a duplex or something since I'm about to be done with my first house flip and will have a good chunk of change to play with.

I do not wish to be on the bad side of anyone including all you wonderful people here who have helped out lots of newbies :-) ,I have seen topics about using Bandit Signs and as I have told Sydney, Bandit signs I am uncomfortable with especially since I was in one area (and this is just one area alone)I have counted 15 different Bandit Signs in one spot all with different phone numbers which tells me that a lot of wholesalers are vieing for one area, and there is another wholesaler who really play the numbers and that one has more money because he/they are actually using Billboards to advertise "We Buy Ugly Houses.com" which costs way more then Bandit Signs (and those won't get taken down lol by the Bandit Sign Police lol).
