I'm currently working around Hudson, Essex and Union county areas and possibly border counties.

Hello everyone,  Paul Brodeur here, just wanted to introduce myself here on Bigger pockets, I am from north Grosvenor dale Connecticut which borders central Massachusetts,  I am fairly new to real estate investing but it  has become my passion ,  I have been listening to the BP podcasts and have learned so much from them , I have owned a few rental properties in the past but had no idea what I was doing to be honest, I made a lot of mistakes and wish I would have found a place like BP back then , currently I am concentrating on finding fix and flips and wholesale deals in my northeast Connecticut and central Massachusetts areas, I am looking to learn and network and build great business relationships , thank you for looking at my post 

They also may need some "help" getting out of their home so I've begun partnering with small business owners who have de-cluttering programs.  

One of the big topics I will be looking for on the forums are the issues with "cross border investing" I have been absorbing the podcasts as fast as possible, as there is tones of great info and tips sitting in there.I am sure I will be searching for / posting LOTS of questions to get things off on the right foot!

Those states seeing an increase include: Delaware: foreclosure starts jumped 113%Arizona: +76%Utah: +63%Connecticut: +50%Oregon: +20%South Carolina: +3%Massachusetts: +3%Virginia: +3%Of the 1,713 counties analyzed with foreclosure starts in July, 36 percent posted year-over-year increases, including Maricopa County (up 43 percent); Prince George’s County, Md.

It may be a good idea to incorporate in Nevada or Delaware.

If this was done prior to the reno, it's likely the majority of the cost can be written off as operating expenses under the De Minimis Safe Harbor.

In my view, this demonstrates that they take their obligations and due-diligence very seriously and that such good-business practices most likely extend to all corners of their operations.Don't forget people that these RECF firms essentially serve as de-facto custodians of your hard-earned investment and (in some cases)  retirement funds.  

Although short sales are uncommon here due to the very hot housing market, the unskilled repairs and additions have significantly de-valued the home.  

I live right on the Kenmore/Bothell border and we're always looking for opportunities.
