Hello Experts,I read alot and tried to get into foreclosures(in my area in Iowa) but found that alot of time/work/money/risk involved for a little or sometime may be descent money (if you are lucky or can sell it on the prices you expected initially) ... but I am not sure all this work is worth for what you are getting..I am in in a process of planning future and deciding the best route for investment option, basic goal is to get a regular monthly return/income while i can keep working on my current full time job, i can invest in either buying a multifamily/apartment building having 25+ units or buy a hotel/motel or buy a land and construct a apartment building(not sure if constructing a building would be bettor of buy an existing one).My target area would be 1.

Hey Tracy Thurman, did you find anywhere in Waterloo, IA that does a legitimate double close using the proceeds from the cash buyer to secondly close with the seller?

Am I a profiteer?

Hello Eduardo,I as a Houstonian myself and starting out in the the market looking for a good RE deal to flip.

@Shimshon Herz Not only am I a NJ-native, but I love your suggestion of a higher level purposeful grouping into key questions.

The first man, a contractor showed up ready to go, but on demo day lacked a hammer, a drill and reciprocating saw.

The straw man as you put it is last- he/she get whatever is left over.

How do I @ a person on here?

I am from the same parts as you(Iowa and South Dakota)..
