The more mud you throw on the wall eventually some will stick".The more offers you submit (we would always low ball) the more chances you have of buying at a discount.

I assume if the borrower throws the property into the bankruptcy that it would go to the note holder but what if the judge grants the borrower to keep the property.

Such led to our housing bubble and if it were up to me I'd throw the instigators so far in a jail cell they'd never see the light of day.

Maybe you have a friend or handyman you can get to attend the viewing with you and throw out numbers until you get more experienced?

Brian there is no case law where a judge will give the borrower everything and throw the seller to the wolves.

Just looking for creative ways to make things work so I am not throwing out "leads".

Hi Steve, Joe and Bryan, Thanks for throwing down the welcome mat for me.

I found a house off searching tax liens, and the seller is an elderly person who has a relative helping to get the house sold before the lien redemption ends(this month)They refuse to do a contract, i even offered to make it just a week long, at least enough time to market the house, throw it on Craigslist whatever, as i know they have limited time.I think they are trying to work other angles, which i can appreciate, and they seem eager to sell( i got them down to $10k + i would have to pay the 4500 lien) Recent solds show about 32-45k comps, and my agent says the area(moreland ave) is a lot of investor activity.Today they told me "we'll do a contract once you have the funds ready, but we don't want to do all the contract paperwork, we just want cash upfront".I explained i work with investors and I can't market the place without having a contract, and i wouldn't want to knowing they can sell it from under me.Should i basically forget about it and move on?

I've recently been throwing the idea around to just stay and rent (rent isn't too bad in Socal), and purchase an investment property that I can rent and cash flow (even if it's not a lot of cash flow).Wanted to know what area in the US is best for this, and where can i get in with a good investment.

I have a question I'd like to throw out there for anybody who may know the answer.I heard a well know real estate guru mention a few times now that you can not assign options or lease options (like a cooperative) in the state of Florida without it going through a licensed real estate agent / broker.
