All different flavors of ice cream out there.I have seen some buy to hold and said they would never sell but they had a compelling reason like an offer that came in (knocked their socks off) it was so good or they wanted to recapitalize for more existing property acquisitions or new development projects.If you study business it is mainly about PERCEPTION and MARKETING.

I am currently looking for my first deal and have started to build my core team.

Don't buy in the roughest neighborhood in the urban core.

If you message me privately, I'd be glad to send you our core MTM rental agreement.

I am pursuing a degree in accounting because I believe it teaches one of the core principles of financial literacy and success such as accounting (management of money) as stated by Robert Kiyosaki (author of rich dad poor dad), Sales (management of people) be taught through experience as a RE agent and  management of businesses is taught through the college or RE agent experience. 

I don't need drama (I watch Bravo for that), but something about the host/project combination does need to be compelling.

He made some compelling points regarding how an llc may not really protect you.

:In PA, and in other states, auctions can mean different things.There are private auctions where I just choose to sell my home in an auction scenario (I actually think this is pretty common in Australia - maybe someone from Oz and chime in on that).Auctions can also refer to the compelled or forced sale of a property by the State/County for various reasons.I assume you are asking about the 2 most common forced sales - foreclosures (failure to pay your mortgage, bank sues and the Sherriff sells your home to satisfy the bank) and tax sales (failure to pay your taxes and the State/County sells your home to satisfy your tax bill).I have not participated in the PA foreclosure and tax sale business in 20 years, so things may have changed, but if someone here is more up to date maybe they can correct my answer with new info.Both types of sales have their own areas of risk that you need to educate yourself on.Value is a top issue - you need to know how much the home is really worth before you get into any of the below. 

I'm not sure how compelling I find that but I am willing to listen to my options.
