We don't do that anymore of course but it's something I did early on when it was worth the time!

But maybe its worth it if you don't have a place to get hard/private money for deals. 

For costs, you’ll typically need to budget for title insurance (usually around 0.5%-1% of the purchase price), attorney fees (varies but can range from $500-$2,000 depending on the complexity), and closing costs (might include recording fees, escrow fees, and other admin costs—generally $500-$2,000).

@Nathaniel Kamp This sounds like an opportunity worth exploring, but time is not on your side here!

None of this is worth an ounce of energy or thought.

Good Cause Eviction, the 2019 TPA, the history of moratoriums, and the clean slate act sealing criminal records and other offenses. 

Now, if you have a good Broker and he is set-up at 8 different lenders already and he/she is great at the processing and getting loans closed then I'd say they are worth their point. 

You want to pay 300k to 350k but you want that property to be valued at 360k to 420k (i.e. don't pay more than 80% of what its worth). 

It's worth considering if rates have dropped significantly or if you're looking to pull equity for another investment.Happy to chat more about your situation!  

Based on our records, ABC did not pay water, electric or any other utilities but charges us for them anyway.
