Jeremy.  Where in East Central Indiana?  I am up around South Bend but do some buying all the way over to DeKalb County.  If you are at all near Union City I have a real estate proposition for you as well.  Welcome to the site and good luck!

We are looking for various types of fixer uppers in Michiana. SFR's and multi family.

We are open to all homes but are very happy to look at anything regardless of condition.  We buy many abandoned, rough,  and even condemmed and on demo list houses.

No repairs are needed for us to pay you cash for your home.

So if you have discovered you are:

The owner of a home you bought but now have buyer's remorse

Tired of being a landlord

Facing foreclosure

Tired of being a homeowner

Behind in your parents,

Or have inherited a home you do not wish to keep

Or any other reason, please give us a call.We can give you a quick, friendly, no pressure cash offer for your unwanted house.

To find out what we can offer you, please call me as soon as possible at 574 524 5949,

no, but if you find one in NW Indiana I would be interested in knowing who that is too.  I am in South Bend

Just an idea if you have not yet thought of it.  When I get houses in new areas I always look at Angies List to see if I can find something there.  I have been very lucky finding people that way.

Never to Delaware, but in Elkhart County which is similar in size we have 75 - 100 people at the auctions. A lot of people will only be bidding on one property and all of the expensive ones will have multiple bidders on them, We bought 4 in Elkhart yesterday. One really rough for 2400, one small but okay for 9600 one needing cleanup with and ARV around 55K we paid 20K for (a little high on that one) and one with an ARV of around 110K we paid 20K for but will required 20-25K in updates and repairs. That is typical for us although I buy low end stuff in multiple counties. did you got the Fort Wayne auction?

I buy several leins a year but not in California.  Are you looking at a particular state or nationwide?

I do a lot of John mentioned above.  We attend between around 10 a year in Indiana and I look at 100 houses and end up with those that are fairly inexpensive.  for example I looked at about 120 houses in St. Joe county last month worked the list down to 37 and bought 7 liens for a total of $28K.  I purchased two this morning at the Starke County auction for $6650.  Tomorrow I am looking at houses in Elkhart County for the auction on Wednesday. 

Then we will do the same in Laporte County the following week.

I did attend 3 auctions before I ever got a house, because it takes a while to pull the trigger on spending lots of money on a house you have not been inside of  :).  We do occasionally buy something more expensive (20 - 30K) but I can buy houses in those ranges through other channels.

also FYI in the past even though I was registered at SRI, I was not registered at each county.  Make sure you are as I missed an auction that way.

Welcome to the site Jose.  I think Las Vegas woiuld be a great place to do real estate!

In Indiana the taxes prior to the tax sale date go away, but the taxes from that date stay.  In Michigan the fall taxes are due at the time of the sale so you have to pay those.  I also have had to pay past municipal water bills on properties.  I imagine most states are similar with some differences just to make it harder on us.  :)

Read Preston Ely's book, how to get rich in real estate.  I think he gives it away free.  I don't do much wholesaling but if you just followed his book, I think you can pull off a deal and get rolling.   It is a hour read tops.  Good Luck.

For the record I paid about $15K for a different training.  Did I get 15K worth of help for that?  Nope, but it did give me some help and make me commit to earning my 15K back and it has all worked out.  At the end of the day though you have to do the deals so if training kicks you in the butt to do that great, though I am sure most of the people who take training never actually do anything with it.
