So if you see a foreclosure, it's not a typical thing, and the people involved are not typical. 

People can smell commission breath.

- The market is in a little bit of a lull right now (buyers market), its a great time to buy, but slower time to sell (my primary business is flipping houses) I can supplement my flipping business by providing project management services/consulting, helping investors find discounted properties, etc. etc.

I also own a water restoration and general maintenance business in the area and the amount of STR owners that we have spoken with is insane.  

Sadly, many people treat them like a commodity.

They do not take into consideration the revenue from the STR business as part of the selling price.So if comps say the duplex is worth 500k, then it is worth 500k.

I use this property and another one as my business line of credit. 

I've since closed down to focus on other businesses and run my own STR's. 

So I'm good at finding people.

I've done this with my properties because I'm well known in my small town and don't want people to know what I own.LEGAL PROTECTION: By placing your assets in an LLC, you are legally separating them from your personal assets.
