2) How did you first get started in real estate? What strategies do youuse and why?

I bought my first house in 1982 and doubled my money in 2 years.
 
I buy cheap repossed properties from the local banks or auction-do a mild rehab- then lease option or sell and hold a 20% second mortgage.

The housing inventory refers to all the homes that are for sale at any given time within a loca! area. This inventory will swell or reduce at different times. It is an excellent indicator of both how strong the market is and the direction in which it’s going.

The inventory is expressed in a variety of ways, one of which is the total number of homes for sale. Another more useful way of expressing inventory is in how many months or days it will take to sell out the entire inventory of homes at the current rate of sales- (Of course, new homes are constantly coming onto the market so the inventory is never completely exhausted.)
