Hi all.....Have any of you ever found a foreclosure listing on day 1 and jumped on it without physically going to see it? 

But may well be there's more to this than you're hearing and he's stringing you along. 

Or maybe it is possible to do a house hacking without physically living in the place??

And realize that there may well be hurt feelings no matter what.

A few of the most common ways to limit tax exposure are depreciation (mortgage interest, property tax, physical property over a span of 27.5 years, major CapEx that can be depreciated at an accelerated rate, etc.), 1031 exchange and using a self-directed IRA (or solo 401k) to invest in properties.

It sounds like this is shaping up to be a good investment property, in an area you know well and have observed positive trends in, so if as long as you have a little cash reserve for unexpected expenses (always pays to be prepared for the worst) and you've accounted for all the regular costs, then this may very well be a go!

Nearly everything we own in physical property is in CA. 

Trees are the number 1 reason for inability to go solar so they might well be an issue.

Physical mail, in my opinion is for bills, check, invitation or garbage.

First, I want to the Express my Gratitude to God in advance for the amazing thinks he has in the future for me: The Inspirations He will send my way during prayers and meditations; The blessings and guidance in my daily encounters; The amazing time to look forward to with family and friends; The Fruitful relationships I will continue to develop with my patients, clients, coworkers, fellow investors and entrepreneurs, and all other professionals; Abundant spiritual, mental, physical and social health; The constant awareness that “I don't wanna spend my whole life asking, What if I had given everything, Instead of going through the motions?”
