@Tyler Bodi Hey Tyler.

HELOC s can be used over and over.

Hi BP,I have a friend of mine bought a land through tax foreclosure auction...he bought it without doing any due diligence ahead of time, anyways he found out its a very small lot and worth nothing if he is trying to sell.The appraisal value is $12k and he paid a bit less but no body would buy such lot on the market...somebody told him to donate the land to the city or the county or some sort of organization that helps people and file it on his tax return as deduction. my questions are: 1- Any suggestions who to target to donate the land 2- If he donated the land can he file it as a loss or deduct it from his tax refund at the end of the year...he is entitled to pay some capital gain taxes on other properties he sold so this deduction will definitely help.3- If point 2 is doable will he be able to file based on the appraisal value $12k?

Shoot me a DM and I'll give you a contact I have as well as discuss 3d walkthrough scanning I do that provides a 3d walkthrough AND your images at the price of most photographers.

I'm at the point where I realize that my body can't handle this kind of labor (50-80 hrs wk) for another twenty years and have always had an interest in real estate.

We also have a newborn and would like to remain in our current home with her at least for the next few years.I'm willing to get creative, willing to get my hands dirty (as in demo/construction, not burying bodies...). 

I've been using a combination of google contacts, excel and an app called CamCard to scan business cards. 

I've been scanning Zillow and redfin for weeks, analyzing information and trying to put the pieces together, but I have not yet determined the excact criteria for my search.

After signing, I scan and upload the manually lease onto Cozy for everyone to access.Good luck to you!

If you've got your receipts scanned and attached to transactions in your bookkeeping system, you ain't going nowhere.  :-)The reports are the awesome sauce.
