With 11 yrs as a REO Asset Manage, I saw so many deals fall through at closing due to title being clouded.

Boise/Treasure Valley has been over priced for past year (maybe past 3 yrs).

Taking the tax hit now spread over 3 yrs with the rates as low as they are vs unknown tax rates 25 yrs from now.As far as taking money out when the market is down - I'm not sure I see that point either?

I've had my current job for 2 1/2 yrs making 75K per year and have a clean background but before I had my current job I was unemployed for a while and ended up filing for bankruptcy causing my credit to take a huge nose dive (sub 500 range). my Question is: to avoid the credit requirement (I wouldn't be able to find a co-signer) would I be able to put an entire lease down as a security deposit and pay my rent as usual so long as my income qualified?

@Carlos CastañonFlorida sucks right now, caps are low and many investors don’t seem to care.Many say good deal are created.The best way to make the deal great is through your model: will you stabilize, add value, increase rents, increase NOI, and Force equity.Additionally, your best deals are going to come by way of direct contact with a seller.Take the properties your looking at on LoopNet And use them as reference to target neighboring properties that are not currently listed.Additionally, in Florida and many other statesBuilding and owner info is available on the county website, you can populate list and export into excel, filter it again target properties owned for more than 10 yrs.
