I'd read their circumstances and realize how easy it is to lose money making bad decisions about real estate.

In normal circumstances the unit owner pays the maintenance and upkeep of the unit for the entire year without deriving any benefit.

If it has poor equity, you don't want it anyways (unless doing a short sale).Qustion #4: There are special circumstances (such as short sales and rehabbing) that give an investor a comparative advantage over the the home owner and are where the investor adds value.

Under these circumstances, you might have to bring a lawsuit for trespass in order to prevent your neighbor from getting title to your land through adverse possession.

mini update*my attorney believes it might be a descriminatory practice to allow certain individuals (homeowners before 6/05) to rent and restrict it to others (homeowners after 6/05).it should be all or none. so basically we'll see what kind of deal he can swing, maybe get them to grandfather me given the circumstances of the sale. but it just blows my mind no one else who purchased after 6/05 ever complained about this. i mean, how many people would buy a condo knowing they have no flexibility to rent if the need arose??

Motivation to purchase is something created based on one's own peticular circumstances.

This type of investment offers distinct ownership characteristics that are different from other forms of joint or shared ownership. - Each owner holds title to an undivided fractional interest in the property.- Ownership percentage on a TIC investment doesn't have to be equal.- Each owner is entitled to their ownership percentage of income, appreciation, deduction of mortgage interest and depreciation, etc. - Each TIC owner retains the right to transfer, partition, and encumber their interest in the property without agreement or approval of the other co-owners.

You can throw cash in a CD or MMA and come out probably as well in some circumstances.

There are many who ‘want’ to be like me; many who are ‘studying’ to be like me; and many more who would be like me, but are just waiting for ‘this opportunity to appear’ or ‘that circumstance to change’… At the end of the day, very few actually are like me.I have been very fortunate and blessed.

Under normal circumstances when I do a cold call to buy a house, I atleast know generally where I need to be at on price before I talk to the seller.
