with a bunch of liens is NOT a DIY qcd deal.I'd go ahead and offer the $30k asking price, go under contract and let the title co do their thing.When it comes down to it, some lienholders may accept a little less to release, Otherwise, looks like the seller  will have to bring a check to closing.

What marketing vehicle did you use to find your initial contact (the one that referred you to the lottery winner)?

After you go through rehab, deal with contractors, deal with tenants and repairs, you may NOT want to even look at deal #2.I know everyone wants to have their life planned out 4 steps ahead.

Just wanted to jot down a few things.I get probably 10 mail pieces a week from various parts of the country on assets we own.. we target the same thing wholesalers do so we get these.I had a few surplus properties so I wanted to go ahead and reach out and see if I could find any true cash buyers not assignors..Any who..

I just know we came out ahead..  

You can also click on the little dots on the crime map and it will state what happened i.e. shots fired, trouble with subject, theft, vehicle stolen, burglary etc along with a date.Also, the boundaries of these maps are somewhat fluid.

Even if there is a correction you will still be ahead as you forced appreciation instead of buying a turn key property.

Neighbors claim that there were  several men who would come to the property for 10-15 mins and park the vehicles a bit away from property.

In that case, its more like a vehicle with title..

I figure that I would come out ahead if my new home appreciates $50k over 2 years to offset the 5% commission I would pay.
