Hi @Lillian Pintaro I am a GC and real estate investor in Birmingham.

Beal Real Estate helps our clients find the best commercial and residential off market and listed deals available.

@Tom Wong & @Kevin Ing - my real estate partner is in and from Hawaii. 

Again, I speak from experience. my limited experince at this is a trier of fact will side with the land owner most all the time.I bought a tax sale prop in CA .. these are tax sales not tax certs. 

California, New York, Texas, Florida, Illinois and followed by Tennessee.  

We have been in real estate (long-term rentals) for over 20 years now and looking forward to hanging up the maintenance hat.

Awesome to see a new investor-minded person here.. do you have a favorite real estate success story already?

In southern CA, even garage conversion ADU additions are typically costing more than the value added.  

We plan to stay in this house for more than 5 years unless another great opportunity arises, but maybe it is best to allocate a bigger portion of savings to our real estate investment savings account than our home improvement savings account for the first few years.

Here’s the Real Secret: Sellers want to feel understood, not sold to.
