What county is your property in? I

We are just now starting to see referral business and word of mouth business come in. I

The latter two of the printed documents contain a lot of economic information and charts on the local markets of the area I am trying to learn more about to invest in.  I

For example a dated kitchen with walls yellow from cigarette smoke and a 60 year old oven is fine, a kitchen that you can't cook food in is not fine -- even if it is otherwise modern, new, and clean. 

I am told the process for foreclosure is much faster now but your point got me thinking a few things: if I walk away from trying to get the property from the seller directly and let the foreclosure process kick in, I wonder if anywhere in that foreclosure process I can place a bid before it goes on market? 

While I am doing my research in terms of hot markets to invest in, I was wondering how do people decide which state to set up an LLC in?

The area as you described in is at stasis, meaning it's going to stay the same unless some outside economic force moves it.

A cement or heavy wooden cover has always worked for me without the need to actually fill it in....but if you want to completely eliminate any risk filling it in is the only way to do that.

I was hoping with new ownership I would be able to purchase and move in. I

it built about 20 or so years ago, I guess grandfathered in I don't know why it wasn't recorded maybe they didn't want the taxes to be higher?
