Here is what I know about real estate:1) I haven't even reached the tip of the iceburg in the 'knowledge' arena.2) I want to be involved.I'm 25 years old and I am currently employed as an auditor for a public accounting firm, but am looking for some strong investments as a second stream of income.

simple answer link up with a real estate agent and have them do all the work for u. long answer build a website pay for all the sites u would like to be on such as zillow, trulia, aol, yahoo ect. go to you county auditors website and look up who buys houses for cash, get there address and mail them a packet on ur house. you can also drive around town and see who else is flipping houses and give them a packet also. just depends how much time and effort u want to put in man.

I work full time as a corporate auditor at a large bank and have been doing all the rehab work myself.

MY biggest compliment was from my IRS auditor ......."

Remember there is always the possibility of an auditor that doesn't know any better.

If you are using typical batts in this area, just make sure the vapor barrier faces inward.Have you thought about consulting with an energy auditor?

,Yes, some auditors are bigger sticklers than others.

Whenever my annual general liability insurance or workers compensation insurance auditor would come to visit my office, disrupt my busy workday and get all up in my business I would make sure to be very nice to them but to put them in an uncomfortable work spot.

I won’t say an over-zealous auditor wouldn’t ever draw extreme examples to penalize your plan, but at some point the parallels become absurd and strain credulity (e.g. you’re also increasing US GDP, and personally gain from that at some level as well).

But, since I'm not buying the property, I wanted to be sure.I do plan on keeping a copy of the contract and the receipts for the inspection so that I'm ready when the auditor comes knocking.John
