I dont think they care about the cameras, Baltimore City police dep. is not gonna find anybody  who brakes into a house :D))If you are  buy a house total 50K, just factor that into it.

Hello bigger pockets family,I found a great contractor i found who has set up his business to tailored investors who buy and hold,BRRRR or flip in quantity.This contractor has multiple crews, can start your project in 24 hours of signing the contract and gives you a detailed spread sheet of the bid brake down line item by line item.

In January, I was just about to move forward with my first Vacation Rental property, but put the brakes on it due to COVID-19.

That would suck, because it'll put the brakes on my ability to find a property for a few months. 

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.
