I also hire one of the big national 20 CPA firms to review returns every 2-3 years. 

My advice would be to drown out the noise you hear from others with positivity and thorough due diligence.

HOWEVER, you can still find deals that hit the 1% rule and positive cash flow.

Look for reviews, testimonials, and case studies to gauge the program’s effectiveness.Am I ready to put in the work?

I’m not looking for a step-by-step guide, but I know I’m not the only one in this position.

Generally if a first is going to be paid off from the second position foreclosure, then the first must be notified in the complaint and the language will not be indicative of the foreclosure being subject to the first.

Each note is reviewed individually and most note buyers will provide quotes once the transaction has closed, recorded, and the first payment made. 

You can also search Google and read reviews.

That can get you some money up front to continue to build your portfolio and it takes you out of being a landloard and puts you into the position of being the bank instead. 

I have built in the past and I do not understand how anyone can build a house for 250k that will last.As an agent I focus on high end relocation clients and many are positively surprised by the build quality compared to the south.
