A good buyers agent will solely concentrate on their client's best interest.  

I have a Bachelors in Business Administration from Western Washington University with a concentration in Finance and a minor in Spanish.

A reliable tenant is someone who stays for many years, always pays the rent on time, and takes good care of the property..For many years, we have focused on a tenant segment with a high concentration of reliable tenants, and our results have been excellent.

I'd look for areas with concentrations of RM-1 if that's a route you're interested in.Zoning map is a quick way to determine how a property is zoned (if it's not in the listing).

The ozone concentration in an apartment can be much higher when running an ozone generator.

Concentrate on getting your rehab done and done right.

Also, you will need multiple dependable tenants over the years you will own the property.The way to increase the odds of always having a dependable tenant is to buy properties that attract a tenant segment with a high concentration of dependable people.

No foreclosure the county just mails you the deed after the redemption period expires.I also set up a self directed IRA that buys tax Leins and it now owns 4 houses in addition to others that I own outside the IRA.From what I hear about tax deed states you are paying right at retail price for property where's as tax lien states you can get properties for pennies on the dollar or a decent interest rate.I concentrate on SFR homes that I keep and rent for passive income.

In my case I do much better when working on my own at times when I can concentrate in learning.  

@Tyler - I finish my MBA with a Finance and Energy concentration next July and I can't wait.
