I'm selling my home in Hayden, between Birmingham and Huntsville just off of I-65 exit 284, and I need some bathroom remodeling. I need to replace a 1 piece shower with another or tile, there is also a spa next to it that needs tile or a backsplash. Does anyone use contractors in this area that could recommend one? I've searched Yelp, home advisor, Angie's list, and a general search but cant find anyone with more than a few reviews. Any help would be appreciated. 

I was able to look at some tax assessment  docs on the county website which let me know a little more about the property. It could still be a good deal but it looks a little worse than what this guy was saying. I didnt find any liens or anything like that but the communication between him and I is almost non existent since our first couple emails. I will keep looking for other deals.

@J Benoit I really want to get started before I get back but of course I will keep studying and looking.

@Raul Martinez It's not listed on any website for sale. A friend of the owner is who I was talking to about it but I think it's a dead lead.

@Christian Bors Thank you for the advice.

@J Benoit  I am currently deployed and cannot go to meetings.

@Michael Noto I will , I have to know what I am dealing with.

Thank you for the responses everyone.

I was looking for possible contacts that might be invested in the area. I would like to do wholesaling but I am new to REI and was looking to see how the market is up there from the view of professionals.

No, I understand what you're saying. If it makes any difference I found his add on linkedin for 7500 and I researched to find he had it listed for 8500 one month before. Is that a trend of anything you have seen?

Does anyone do business in Larimer county Colorado? 

Good evening from Bahrain,

I recently found a property in Birmingham AL thats' lowest estimated value is 32000 and the asking price is 6500. Its a fixer upper and I am not able to physically able to go look at it. Was thinking of asking my dad to go or hiring an inspector. I am tempted just to offer 4000 and see what I can get it for regardless. Any words of advice would be nice. 

Thanks,

Josh Harvey

@James Wise   

In your experience working with these people overseas, were the deals done by phone or email? 

Good morning all,

Was wondering if anyone has experience in investing while they are in other countries. Currently I am deployed to Bahrain and I'm just doing research but I would be interested to know of ways to be productive from over here.

Thanks in advance.

Hi all, 

I'm no guru or even educated in tax lien certificates and deed sales but my uncle does it and I know he is forever researching. I spent some time learning from him and I know you also have to do due diligence and on the property to make sure their are no other liens against the property, or if it is condemned, and the title is clear or you could be stuck with those fees. You can go to the county courthouse or their website to find out what months the sales are, the properties to be listed with their starting bids, title and property history, etc.
