That is half the battle and the rest will come from attending events, enhancing your real estate education and knowing more people in the real estate field.Regards,Joe Scorese

That’s why we choose to enhance asset value as our main strategy.Real estate investment combines two essential pillars: Equity & cash flow.

The item itself produces no income and does not enhance your net worth.The loan on your home is not entirely bad since it provides you with shelter while the equity build-up enhances your net worth at the expense of the interest you pay.

That would enhance my own personal results, but the issue here is the performance of the tax liens.

That being said, that's not proven, it's just something I would make a bet on.Here are some positives I would look for:- Local character and flavor, these days walkable cities are very popular.- Young migration- New jobs and industries moving in- Business friendly environment- Near other areas that have grown recently- Good schools, universities, or another story for attraction- Cash-flow, gotta make your numbers in the meantime.

Now we pass around defaulted loans like tic tacs claiming there is a flavor for everyone and risk is well mitigated.

You are more likely to get multiple offers which greatly enhances your negotiating power.  2.  

@Marvin McTaw Welcome to BP, a great place to share and enhance your REI knowledge.

Since real estate has always been my secret fancy, here I am.But here's the deal--I know all too well I'm a flavor-of-the-month sort of guy.

Unlike me, I can't drive a nail straight and in retrospect that might be a good thing.I think/know that my time can be better spent in doing more productive/beneficial things that will enhance my business, so, I pay to get things done when it's warranted.Granted, there is a cost to doing business and I have baked that into my business model.
