Very good point Rich.

I just don't even know what to say..... How cruel can you be? :mrgreen:

I Haven't heard of anyone trying this, but that's not to say you can't. Go ahead, and let us know if you have any luck! I would think that if you were going to negotiate the price owed down, you could do it the same way you would negotiate with a bank on a short sale.

Hope this helps, and good luck!

And, as long as In and Out doesn't float away, all will be well in my world.

If any part of it does fall into the ocean, then maybe Redding will cool off a little bit (you think Arizona is Hot? Redding is just the same.. 122 was the record last year, and every year before that.)

To start off, My advice is to read as many of the forums of this site you can, go to your local library and read some books on Real Estate Investing, Read "You, Inc," and any self motivation books you can find.

Also, there are some really helpful videos on UTube (just type in Real Estate Investing, Finding Motivated Sellers, etc).

And, listen to everything these guys (and gals) wrtie down, their advice is gold.

Don't worry about your past finances, it sounds like you have a good goal and a good head now. From my experience, the more your back is to the wall, the more motivated you are, the more sucessfull you will be.

That's what YOU think..lol

Although difficult to put together and sometimes cheesey, I think that videos showing how to use the different features would be good. That way, people who are visually oriented will learn faster. I have faith that the BP team will put together someting great, no matter what the decision. I'm not that computer savvy, but if I can help out at all, I sure will.

From my understanding, all tax liens must be paid in full within 30 days of purchase of a property. These are involuntary items attached to properties, everyone must pay them, no matter what. That is why it is very important to check the title to see if there are any leins against the property. However, if it is a tax auction, all voluntary items (mortgages, etc) I believe do not have to be paid. If you have a title company in your area, they should be able to answer your questions. If your area doesn't have title companies, then just ask a real estate attorney (they shouldn't charge you for a five minute question, in my opinion)

I completely agree, Mike. I'm just talking about the deals that are fair, not great. These are the deals that I wouldn't bother me if they worked or not. However, if it is a great deal, give the realtor their comission. They are obviously doing their work, so pay them.
