These marketers would have the novice investor believe that the narrow focused “education” they provide combined with the “holy grail” formula (wholesaling, subject to, flipping, lease option, discounted note purchase, etc.) is most, if not all, anyone needs to become “independent” and successful, usually by month 12.

Here’s why:Affordability: You can find solid properties here well within your $200k–$300k budget.Cash Flow Potential: Indianapolis has a growing population, a diverse economy, and relatively low property taxes compared to some other midwestern markets like Cleveland.Investor-Friendly: Indy is landlord-friendly with strong rental demand, especially in neighborhoods near downtown, universities, and revitalized areas like Fountain Square or Irvington.If you’re open to a strategy involving light renovations, there are plenty of opportunities to add equity and boost rental income here.

Some of these strategies (though not all, and possibly not the most profitable) are the subject of constant discussion on BP. 

Hey BP family, I'm currently trying to help out a family in need from having to foreclose on there property by taking over subject to, it has a high interest rate although the entry is around 20k I want to wholesale this ultimately Is it possible for me, to disregard my initial assignment fee to get a buyer asap and add a 2nd lien on the property as my fee? 

Even if you create a non-CA LLC, if you are managing the business from California, you will likely be deemed to be "doing business" in California and therefore likely subject to CA taxes.

But your subject line is pretty generic, try something that is more descriptive like a newspaper headline, you will see some good responses.

I would assume that if its for a short term loan, it would likely be better terms with the HELOC but I dont know much about the subject honestly. 

Well, what would be happening is that your buyer would be buying your house subject to the existing note, since you can't legally sell the property without paying off that note or transferring the debt to the new buyer.

I've bought hundreds of properties at Tax Sale, but only Tax Deed Sales, and have posted on the subject many times on BP.

You are using the projected rental income from the subject property.
