Ok, so I am not as interested in flipping houses as much as I am interested in buying distressed properties for buy and hold. I am currently reading The Book on Flipping Houses by J. Scott. I believe it was in Chapter 5, J. Scott recommended picking a single or possibly two areas codes to focus on as your "farm area". Would it be safe to say that this same idea would transfer over to a buy and hold strategy (for a new investor)?

If the deal makes sense I would follow through with it. It sounds like it is going to be a headache but if the money is worth it for you then pursue it, if not walk away  and let someone else deal with the headache.

Hey @Cecelia Jaramillo and welcome to bigger pockets. This forum is the place to start!

Welcome @Christina Arango, you have come to the right place.

I would assume you would be ok, but def talk to a legal professional. CYA cover your ***.

Amazing @Mark Cruse, great job!

Sounds like a horrible situation, sounds like an awful lady.

Welcome @Solveiga Jurgaityte, you have come to the right place. My "tip/trick" is check out all the podcasts they have here, great info you can absorb while driving/relaxing!

Yeah that seems like a tough market to get started in for sure.

I agree with @Randy Johnston, we need more info about what more specifically you are interested in, there are to many to choose from.
