Your comment is another tic in favor of "pump the brakes and see what happens."

You can contest taxes on your own with no cost other then your time but would advise you dont for the same reasons you dont change your own car brakes or replace your own roof. 

Glad to hear you have an accelerator and brakes.

my thought process is cash flow is just a place setter so you can enjoy appreciation .. so even brake even or a little negative is fine in markets that move up more than a few % a year 

So if you are a newbie and thinking that step #1 is to take a class to get your license, maybe you should pump the brakes and think again. 

It just means you must find out what is necessary to put the brakes on the actual foreclosure, or you must work as efficiently as possible to get the short sale approved before the foreclosure date.  

So if he won't go month to month because you can walk at anytime for any reason then maybe he will write a clause into the lease that allows you to brake the lease with a signed contract and that you actually close the deal.

Things happen when you rent a property, toilets brake, sinks overflow, glass brakes, you need to replace a hot water heater.  

Commercial, besides some 6 plex mortgage, you need to understand business, that industry is even better, if your collateral consists of a 20 ton press brake, you better know the salvage value not just the new price of one.

Hi Greg Brake, There will always be some renters or buyers that are turned off by the sloping floor.
