Boulder, Colorado is blowing up right now because a realtor professional who also happens to be an investor bought a tax lien three years ago and foreclosed on the property recently.

Check state law, if property is held individually and that person marries, property may go to joint title with martial rights as joint tenancy.

A wholesale deal is much simpler than digging this information up, right?

Even for someone who I had a strong personal distaste for, I often find myself just trying to make everyone happy.I am not afraid of conflict, I used to compete in martial arts, I debate, I say my piece, I stand up for myself at work -- however I just want people to be happy.How do you get better at telling people no?  

.- FHA 203k is rarely done on a 'kind of fixer upper' in our market, because it's a little slower and there are 8 other buyers lined up right behind you.

Just because you are starting out in RE does not mean that you do not have assets to protect (savings, equity in your home, nice cars, whatever).To set it up right takes an attorney that knows what they are doing.

Definitely not meaningless or worthless, if taken as part of your analysis eco system.”It may be masturbation, but that’s part of growing up, right!?

Signing up right away and encourage others to check it out.

They may press you for what the reason was, but just don't give them anything they could use against you (this goes for any tenant for any reason).You can discriminate on the basis of nearly everything (other than the "duh" stuff like race, religion, age, martial status, disability etc).  

@James WiseI've looked into getting my own, and it seemed like an upright fee, not bad.
