The penny only dropped a few days ago that i might be in a position to become alot more involved and serious about real estate investing.I would like to mainly focus on cash flow but save a portion of the cash to try one short sale or foreclosure that needs 20-30K spent on it and then sell it on.

This is similar to a manufactured home where the utility connections are on one of the halves of the building.My conclusion is that this 1978 building was partially assembled offsite, delivered to the property via flat bed, lowered onto the foundation with a crane then construction of the front and rear portions were the completed onsite.  

As far as depreciation, you can't write of the portion of the building you live in (assuming 25%) - you'll also account for the interest portions differently than if it was just OO or just tenant occupied.

(65/35 me taking the larger portion) What are buyers looking for in a house that is move in ready in this market?

However, in PB county they will generally accept about 10% of the "daily fine" portion of the lien, which is the bulk of the fine.

As I buy more rental properties I would like to fund and add equity to them by flipping homes and investing portions of the profits towards paying them down.I appreciate the feedback.

Hi,I am working on trying to get the wholesaling portion of my real estate business off the ground and I have heard that post it notes are pretty good for finding sellers.

This way your portion is not in the main closing; a deal involving two assignments in between the seller and end buyer would be tricky for any one to close.

I can even post the portion of the contract I'm talking about if it helps.

My only affiliation is that they manage a portion of my single family portfolio (less than 10%) and I have been happy with the work they do.
