Cheers,JessicaHi Jessica, pleased to meet you.You and your husband should first take a yellow tablet, and a pen, and your dreams and go to The Pier Grill & Tackle for dinner.

I do it on a tablet when I'm mobile, or at my PC when looking.Do not get caught up in hacks cutting corners.

It's like a Mac (sadly price isn't great) but runs Windows and I'm able to run Photoshop, Illustrator, and After Effects w/o too many problems.If you really want to stay cheap then you could also look into a tablet w/ a Bluetooth keyboard.

@Larry Moore Jan and Larry Jordan run a meetup group in Blue Springs - they have a meeting Thursday Night - I think that is covering tax sales in Jackson County - their last email to me said that the list will be available Friday and you have to get it from a legal publication like the Daily Record or the Pulse Legal - these can get you probably the lists in Jackson, Clay, Platte and Cass - and maybe St Louis - just note that St Louis County and Jackson County do not sell tax liens, but sell properties after 4 years of non-payment so their sales differ.Look for the Blue Springs Real Estate Investment Group on Meetup to get more info about this event to learn how Jackson County tax sales work.

My name is Will Clay and I am a newbie to the real estate space.

I use Jan Bounds at Clay & Land.

There is so much clay in much of the city that foundations just move.

Go look at properties for sale with a realtor bring along a carpenter or contractor with you ( buy them lunch) bring a tablet and write down the issues and costs as they rattle them off .

All lenders have their own criteria, which I suppose works for them, @Michael Clay.

@Clay Baxley  city said that i would have to get approval from the city planner to move the driveway and i would have to cut the other tree down on the south side of the driveway.
