Hello all      I am a member of a local landlord association/Fox Valley Apartment Association/www.fvaa.com and we are working on improving our message/marketing efforts to increase our reach and improve deliverables for our members. 

Once the property became officially released (I was able to get details ahead of it being released) he was able to scoop up the house instantly and was happy he was going to be improving his neighborhood.

Homes are cheaper there and the neighborhoods are improving.

Still lots of value left and although not as much inventory as once before, lots of the properties still have a lot of meat on the bones 

Inventory is so low and any property which gets listed sold quickly for or more than asking price.

@Shiloh Lundahl I usually meet the appraiser at the property and explain all the improvements.
