If you need financial help, ask under the "Finance, Tax, and Legal" forum.

There's no way to guarantee things won't break, there are only ways to protect yourself financially so you can replace those items.

If a deal aligns with your financial goals and makes sense in the broader context, don’t let rigid rules hold you back.

This could free up more cash flow to reinvest in your deals.But here’s where it gets interesting: making the transition to an S-Corp can require a more organized financial structure, which includes separating your accounts, keeping clean records, and being prepared to pay yourself a reasonable salary as the business owner.

I am hoping to get a better idea of the value of the land to determine if it makes sense financially to start the foreclosure process (the two notices have been sent).  

A really nice home with some extra touches (a little granite, better flooring, nicer paint job, nicer cabinets, etc.) compared to the area will make potential tenants fall in love with the place.  2) Tenants that bring or can swing their own appliances are more financially stable (or just stable in general, ha!)
