If they can do it they do it and I pay themI don’t give a crap if they have the governments paper blessing. 

They work for the bank or government entity.If you want to put in an offer, you have to find a local agent that will submit it for you.Are you paying cash?

No action should be taken on anything I post by inhabitants of planet Earth or any other celestial body.

It appears that these assets allow the "People's Government" to perpetuate their agenda.More to the point, there is no question that the tenant is liable for the remainder of the lease, or 1-2 months that are typically granted by judges.

I've been studying up for a long time and ready to take the plunge once I can save up some funds, unless I can find a good hard money lender willing to make a deal.I work in IT for the government, but my primary goal is to have enough properties that I can become FI and quit my day job to do this full time.

Hi @Joe Scheffold, you mentioned in the headline that this is a short sale but I don't see that referenced in your body.

main thing to remember, UK and los angeles have very different economics.... local economies in each specific area in los angeles even vary quite a bitthe income or industry in south la vs west la vs north la are all very different.pick an area and dissect it make the best decision"ghettos" in Los Angeles have a lot of life long renters that are very much govt subsidized  so you are not investing with a tenant but more so with the government and managing a tenant as a way to get a premium 

So hours might not be cut but (insert something stupid) happened and rent will be late etc....Or the constant budget issues facing our government also can impact their pay.Generally speaking you're right though a member has more to lose than the average Joe, but that doesn't make all of them good tenants.

That roadmap, as of right now, is outlined.Learn - Keep FTJ (Full Time Job)Books, podcasts, BP, peopleFTJ and PTJ options: Go back into being a residential handyman and contractorWholesale - Keep FTJRamp up Wholesaling, possibly until either quitting or finding a PTJ to offset Wholesaling goal - raise capital to flip laterPlataeu Wholesaling, ramp up Flipping while ramping down WholesalingPlataeu Flipping, ramp up Buy-and-HoldLong Term Goal: rental portfolio with extra capital to invest in othersMy motivation does include swinging hammers (I love the physical work), but I recognize that won't be where I need to put myself to make money past the short-term (and my body won't be able to do that forever).

What’s a great place to start searching for grants today
