Here're some online calculators: from Intuit/TurboTax, from H&R Block, from NerdWallet, from TaxAct, and you can find dozens more online.

@Michael Dumler Thank you for your insights man, I got a few books to finish ASAP, once I am done I will execute your provided lists literally.Currently I am in Stone mountain, lakewater block.

I am looking to buy the ugly duck on the block that can grow equity and have stable cash flow- about $500/month.

You have to either get lucky, have an unfair advantage, or do the necessary blocking and tackling to find situations that create deals.

I want to contact the owners of tax deeds /pre foreclosure before they hit the auction block.

It's doable as a market to do what you want, but you must understand the block dynamics if you are going for Chicago proper.

You don't have to block off dates well in advance, you can book whenever you like.As far as the Poconos go, I'm making great money but I only have the best houses.

How can I unsub or block these annoying emails?

If you can find a very similar property (properties) within a few blocks that is golden....but you will find that often there will be few, or sometimes none, within a close proximity.This is when your talent will come into play.

Experienced Detroit investors all know an investment should be done with a block-by-block strategy.
