Holy crap! Now that is scary. I'm not sure I'd have the stomach to handle something like that. wow.

What about the Trump books - Art of the Deal, and the other one. Are they worth a read? Thank you for all the great suggestions. I guess I have some reading to do.

I understand that any plot of rural land over 5 acres is usually classified as agricultural, which is the cheapest tax designation. If I wanted to create a sub-development of some sort, would it be smart to locate this "agricultural land" and convert it in order to save $$$ on taxes?

Just a random question, thanks.

I have been reading a bit more about owner financing. Thanks to everyone for the help. Owner financing is easier than I initially thought, but apparently it is just tough finding someone who would be willing, right? By easy, I mean the process. The difficulty comes with finding someone willing. Sorry to repeat myself here.

How can you sweeten an offer to make it more attractive to the seller, other than increasing the price?

Do management companies have similar policies everywhere? What I mean is, are the fees they charge standard around the country? Also, what are come of the charges we should look out for? :groovy:

Can someone explain how to go about buying properties without dropping a large down payment? I'd actually like to learn about buying without putting any money down, if this is really possible. Is this called seller financing? How does it work?

Sorry about all the questions.

Does anyone have any recommendations on real estate investing books?

Also, are there any magazines out there that are good for real estate investors?

Could you give me any info as how to get started and what steps to take concerning tax lien investing in my state? Are the laws concerning liens standard from state to state?

Any certain things I should know concerning laws, etc.?
-Thx, Darryl

OR

Do you pay the amount of taxes and fees owed and bid on the amount of interest you are willing to recieve?
