I have also started reading How to find Hidden Real Estate Bargins By: Robert Irwin.Does that help?

Are there any other hidden/unknown taxes I will encounter?

Real Estate is not one of those kinds of businesses that you can do from the "classroom"...It will definitely make a man or woman out of you...I can remember what it felt like to have my "dearly beloved" convertible car repossessed and having the lender going to my PARENTS' house trying to find the car because I was so embarrassed I had hidden it...

Besides the things that are visible, appliance, paint, flooring, there are a whole series of "hidden" things that really add up and can make a house more valuable.These include but are not limited to:Higher efficiency HEATING unit.

As a general rule of thumb, 1% is not enough to turn a profit when you factor in all of the hidden costs of owning rentals.

There is no real way to see defects that are hidden in such a manner without opening up the wall and causing damage.

the thing about investing in real estate fline, or investing in general, is to find the gems.

That will make it feel better and will also force you to look for the nuggets hidden in the dross.Good hunting.John Corey

Scott labeled a lot of nice gems when it comes to AdWords.

But I don't think it meshes extremely well if you're also trying to come across as a sincere REI with no hidden agenda.
