Hi;

You must be very new! Unless you have very deep pockets,walk away. You have too many variables.
Unless you want to live in this home,rethink your approach.

What happens when cars are not selling? They lower the price and give deals to buyers like rebates and zero interest. The same thing could be happening with the houses you are looking at. Joe is probably right here. At two grand per month I could not afford but a few payments and I would have to give it back to the lender. What kind of marketing can you do different than they are doing? Are they advertised and in MLS? If you want to try something you may get one under contract and try to flip the contract if even possible. If it did not work you would have learned and not lost as much money as actually closing and trying to sell at a higher price while the builder is still selling property next door at lower prices.

Hope this helps a bit.

Thanks guys

Your right Joe I am really new. I was thinking of a flip, I wasn’t sure if anything else could be done. But your right Ted, flipping would probably be really tough. Well I 'll keep on looking and studying.

Thanks again.

Hey People:

Most of the opinions given on this sheet are just that! I am sure that the time spent on the computer could gain profits for those who are experenced! If most would spend the same amount of time with a (REIN) group,or just being in the field trying to find a property to work a deal on,they could make it in this business!
(ALL) of you beginners should have a mentor. (NO IFS OR BUTTS ABOUT IT) If you get into trouble on the first deal, then what? Just like every other business, you can`t learn overnight! Allways (THINK BIG),work small!!! If you are weight lifting ,you would not start with a 500 lb. weight.
Work some small deals until you can get some experence!!
