.- tax lien deals are shorter terms (with 2 or 3 year terms at most), generally speaking a mortgage note could be much longer (with 20 to 30 year mortgages - with cashflow)Doesn't mean they're not worthwhile though!

But what I do say, I try to make it count.I joined BP to give back, to contribute, by sharing my knowledge and experience (for what it’s worth). While

The last improvement or worthwhile repair was in 1997, The uncle really let it go…Linval- Your right about the family part, I didn’t want to type to much in the initial post, but I keep going back to the numbers because the money that the in-laws get from the sale will get the 3 brothers who are essentially squatting in the other property to move out.

-I've heard that the tax benefits make it worthwhile and that i can run a number of expenses related to my property through the LLC as tax deductions (phone bills, miles, etc).2.

Would have to do the math and see if a hard money over that period would be worthwhile. 

I am not an experienced vacation rental operator, but I can only imagine it would be completely worthwhile to purchase the property already furnished, if that's an option. 

Yup, equity makes a deal worthwhile.  

This is sort of a weird question but bear with me......I work for a builder and am also an investor on one of our projects - we do new construction spec builds in higher end areas usually between 1M-2M......we've been sitting with our house a little longer then we expected at this point - we dropped the price 70,000 from the initial listing price and am contemplating our next move if we don't get bites in the next couple weeks....my question is how much of a drop is worthwhile?

My question is how do they perform the due diligence to check out a property to determine if it is a worthwhile investment ?

Buy at enough of a discount to make it worthwhile for the additional holding time & carrying costs, 2.
