Being self-employed is notoriously tough to get funding, but it is possible.

From Google: "In California, a user of land may establish a prescriptive easement by proving that his or her use of another's land was: (1) continuous and uninterrupted for five years; (2) open and notorious; and (3) hostile"

Properties that are unique in their neighborhood are notoriously difficult to calculate for accurate investment value.Do you want to be left stranded, committed to buy at a price the Seller already thinks is the best net-price they can get, and you would be gambling it wasn't?

If I were in Bruce's market, which I think tends to be more steady/less volatile than mine, and could get ~1.2% rent yield in a nice neighborhood on what I'm guessing is a couple hundred thou for a duplex and had the cash on hand to fund multiples simultaneously, I'd prefer his strategy all day long ... he still has "the need for speed" by the way, when his units are vacant and in disrepair, he's just flipping to the rental market for a year rather than straight to sale :)In my market, SoCal is notoriously manic depressive for one, so your tax savings could be greater than stated by holding for that extra year if the hot market tanks taking your capital gains with it.

I can understand it being too hot in your unit as boiler heat systems are notorious for having imbalanced heating when they are not properly operated.

Tax Court.If they are doing the latter, I would think they wouldn't be very helpful to the client, as the Tax Court is notoriously fickle.

So finding foreclosure information for the District is notoriously hard and the reasons Ive heard given for the DC foreclosure situation have been far and varied from very good sources, so its really impossible to tell what is causing the situation there.I heard one knowledgabe person tell me that after they foreclose on a property in DC, the former owner becomes a tenant and needs to be evicted.

While NYC is notoriously expensive, there are tons of opportunities to be found among those NJ cities along the GSP and Turnpike.

Hi @Mel Rosario,Yes, I would have to say that cash really is king in the real estate world, especially when the seller is entertaining offers from investors - who have a notoriously bad habit of backing out of deals (part of the process).

It's a notoriously steady tenant base that chooses renting for the sake of flexibility on their orders.
