An old family friend was selling properties and this fell into my lap... just a no brainer great deal.

""The secondary market does charge for a no-escrow.

They have two options depending on what you are looking for; a tenant involvement and a no tenant involvement package.

For example, find out what the home would sell for  (as is or if you finished it) or how much could you refinance it for with a no credit, no doc loan, then what are market rents and what are section 8 rents?

Keep in mind, whatever the seller owes must be covered either in a payoff (cash to the seller at closing) or with enough in monthly payments to the seller to cover their monthly payments on the existing debt.Then, the seller must have a financial incentive to do the deal...as in immediate or cumulative profit or cash flow, and that means that a no time, from closing day to the end, will the seller be negative in cash. 

Both bring so much value to my life that it's a no-brainer.Jon, I wasn't looking for my wife, nor was I looking for Sam.

If you want not to pay state income taxes then live in a no-tax state, invest in a no-tax state.

You have nothing to lose by getting a no-cost pre-analysis done on a property you invested in.

@Dana Revallo Would a no-cost loan from the IRS in the amount of $12k to $22k help?
