The trick is, they need to be surprises (ie foundation issues, MEP issues, etc).

I understand GRM method,that is the way when you made investment judgement.But when you really employee exit strategies (that is,when you sell it) you need to get the value from the market,which is most likely use comparable sales approach.So really would like to know the trick here,thank you.

Of course, they make it sound much easier than it is.Before you do that "trick" payoff credit card debt, and car loans and any other higher interest rate loans you have.

Any tips or tricks would be well received.

South and west sides are overall pretty bad areas with crime but don't let people trick you the rest of city of Chicago is pretty ghetto too but it's weird there because there's a lot of uber rich people mixed in with the super poor.

Any tips or tricks are welcome thanks. 

It's time, though, for me to expand into new opportunities and learn more tricks of the trade to grow a robust portfolio.

The trick is to find people you can work with and trust, who are grounded in the market you want to invest in.

Hi @JD Wolfrey You definitely have the right frame of mind in seeking a mentor - a seasoned local investor can be invaluable in helping you learn the tricks of the trade here.I definitely struggled to find some great mentors myself, however, and I think that my experience could perhaps be of value to you!

The anecdotal research seems less than stellar, but since my local parish (county) insists on using CivicSource for this next round of sales I'm hoping one of you can give me some tips and tricks, thanks!
