It is a row home complex consisting of 5 houses total. 

The IRS has consistently shown that it is suspicious of deed transfers immediately prior to a sale. 

I have joined few REIA investor groups and will be attending meetings consistently.

I wouldn’t say I’m consistently helpful.

Be diligent and consistent and you'll find them.

No need to change anything for one tenant, keep things consistent for all.

One CAN figure out approximately how much a property sold for even if it's not listed in the records:  extrapolate the transfer taxes (state/county/city) and multiply out.Just an aside:  I remember back in the day when the appraisals were coming in short in an appreciating market (something like we have today) we would ask the buyer to pay MORE money for the transfer taxes (no law about not paying more taxes) and it would help show a higher "sales" price and help 'push' up the comps--not recommending you do that now--much more data available for all eyes.But I would recommend that you buddy up with a like-minded realtor, and work out a mutually beneficial arrangement so you can get the info you need, and they can get listings, sales, referrals, etc, that they need.Better yet, get licensed yourself and get to know the business from the inside out!

we did all the heavy lifting no work at all for the investor.. and the returns were very consistent.. and if there was a problem us as the broker jumped in and fixed it for our client.. you can find people like this in your market NO doubt..so my point is why would you risk partner with someone on the internet to buy a note and give them half of your returns.. that I simply don't get.. as an alternative you can go with some funds that are out there  PPR  Mike Hartzog  Ed Malaki they all have funds. that you can join in ready for prime time companies.. 

You can offer them 9% which is going to beat the ROI they'd consistently get on Wall Street, and you're going to pay them 0 to 1 points, which is going to beat what any HML will charge you.

My friends over at Navy federal CU have dragged the HELOC process out for over 5 months now as I have consistently been given misinformation as to what would be needed on my part to close the HELOC.
