Holly, I can probably help since I live in Buffalo...I am a licensed RE agent, a licensed property inspector, and own a property managment company here.If you need help please feel free to ask me, there are alot of good deals here in Buffalo but you really need to beware of the scams here also.contact me if you would like.Jim

(do not contract a sale or rent to tenants if everything isn't looking right)Once you have done your first flight the next will be easier and so on.Just don't quit learning.And because you have had a scare don't quit learn from it so you won't encounter the same situation again.

If your prospect encounters you by email or direct mail marketing, your words are all he or she can be influenced by.

Is this something you have encountered or am I paranoid?

Other investors will encounter lower expenses, others, higher, and others will hit your 50% mark.

He is always polite when I encounter him but he is the source of the friction at the property.

The whole thing seems like a scam to me on so many levels -1 ) The "arrears" are listed as a single line item on the bill with no explanation of how they were derived2 ) We have never ever received a bill for any of the previous years (except for last years fee of $60)3 ) There are no minutes or any information about their policies or decisions on thier website4 ) I googled the "directors" of the homeowners association and they appear to be property investor types rather than local residents5 ) My wife was 13 when she received the land - whatever she signed (almost 30 years ago!!)

just go to any search engine and type in bank debenture scam.

I encountered a seller who REALLY wants to sell, but can't sell it to me for what I need.

I will balk at any ridiculous fees, such as courier fees.I will balk at someone trying to make me buy Title Ins,paying lawyer fees etc etc .If you bought a bank owned property with Cash,you can really help me with what fees you encountered .I hate getting ripped off by bullsh.t fees and useless lawyerswho are not representing me .What will I be looking at in closing fees on a Cash deal ???
