Loads of info on this site I have spent several years just browsing the forum.

After browsing it seems that a lot of people here adhere to the 50% rule and having positive cashflow of $100+ per door.

My parents live there and I was browsing around but couldn't find any info.

I've already browsed BP and from what I understood there is nothing you can do , and no money to be made, other than a short sale.

The link @Steve Babiakposted has pretty much all the info you need but if you want the primary source it looks like an "unofficial" version is § 250.511a and § 250.511b at https://govt.westlaw.com/pac/Browse/Home/Pennsylva...One idea I don't think was posted yet, that I might do if I was in your state, is to get a separate CHECKING account and use it just to hold the security deposits.As for the # of accounts, I'd say match your operating account(s) - if you have one operating checking account per property then have one security deposit checking account per property.

When I've found it to be true that many "big time" buyers don't look, but let deals to come to them.They have enough connections that they simply don't have a need to browse Craigslist, look at the newspaper classifieds, give their email to join buyers lists or even attend REIA meetings.

Browsing through the forums, I see people have been investing in other places (like Memphis, Kansas City, Indianapolis, Atlanta, Ohio, Texas), but I have not done enough research to feel comfortable putting my money there yet.The proximity of Las Vegas to LA is a plus for me.

And this is fair; it doesn't make much sense for the public to walk in and flip through files the way you'd browse the bookshelves at a library.

Thank you, this post has saved me so much time rather than browsing endlessly on the forums, I just constantly find myself referring back to this page.
