I currently am a resident here (so distance is non-factor) and I possess some handy skills that could save renovation costs (besides HVAC, structural issues, plumbing, electrical work).

It’s great to see another agent specializing in investment properties here, especially someone with a deep understanding of the Washington market.

In Cook County, Illinois, single action is for possession.

I do not possess any special list.

Bigger Pockets is a great place to find a tax accountant that specializes in real estate taxation. 

If a property goes into foreclosure on a second, as Ken said you will either be buying it subject to the first mortgage - meaning it's your mortgage now - or the first has to be satisfied to take possession of the property - or the owner of the first is going to be there bidding what they are owed, so you would need to outbid them to get the property and then you are the person paying off the first mortgage. 

I just been nervous to do them.If you’re getting 10% down on lease option, all I can say is you have a special ability to get good down payment payments.

I have had encroachments in the past and resolved them with easements and no adverse possession claims.

I’ve built relationships with brokers who specialize in Harlem, and one of them brought this off-market deal to my attention.

Despite signing on the court day that she would move out in 7 days and waiving her right to appeal, she still appealed, preventing me from filing a writ of possession.
