From "How to Become a Successful Real Estate Investor" by Jeanette Joy Fisher:
What types of houses should you look for?
Besides being owned by someone who no longer wants or can afford to stay in a property, you want to find a home thatâs only tired, and not in need of structural work in order to favorably compete with similar houses on the market. We call that type of house a "doghouse."
How do you find doghouses?
Your real estate agent can scan the MLS listings, looking for fixer-uppers, handyman specials, or as-is houses. You can also find similar properties yourself, using the local newspaper or shopper.

From realtor.org: "According to HMDA data, the national share of purchase loans for second homes â defined as âother than owner-occupied as a principal dwellingâ â increased from 8.6% to 14.2% from 2000 to 2004. That represents an annual average growth rate of 16% during that time period. The actual number of purchase loans doubled, increasing from 405,000 to 881,200."
Only $120 for both
