I'm wondering how anyone does it in this area, or maybe I just have not been looking for long enough.I really would like to purchase in my area as it would be my first rental property, and I am most familiar with the northern VA area If this is not to be, I also am wondering what markets nearby would be better.I’m also in Fairfax County, and you’re absolutely right: Fairfax County and much of Northern VA are tough markets for cash flow, especially starting out without a substantial down payment.

I'm wondering if some one can help with an explanation about why a Hotel has many rooms with tax lien on auction? 

We sold a wonderful two unit STR in Depoe Bay in 2024, which generally is a no-go zone but has neighborhoods with specific commercial zoning that allows for vacation rental usages as well as a brand new development of luxury homes that allows STR usages similar to Olivia Beach in nearby Lincoln City. 

I am in the middle of purchasing my first rental property in Arkansas and was wondering if changing the wording of "pet addendum" to "animal addendum" would allow for the "animal deposit" and monthly "animal rent" to be collected?  

I am staying wondering why there is so little information on tax liens,  i read some books on notes and foreclosures but looks like a big secret here... maybe that's the reason... i need to go into this to find out :)

Hi BP,I'm wondering what people's experience has been with partial seller financing.

Wondering what are the different ways everyone got the money to put down on a property and the way to finance it?

The internet as wonderful as it is has also created a 'wild west' effect that is often unbridled.  

Hi Fulati-Congratulations on planning to sell one property and having between $200K-250K cash to invest into a rental property and you wondered good areas to invest.I would look at Grand Rapids, Lansing, and Kalamazoo, Michigan.

It does seem like it is such a significant misrepresentation though, I wonder if getting some confirmations in writing helps.
