DO research on them and then be prepared. also discuss some top books that would be impressive to him......RDPD, the Go Giver, how to win friends and influence people etc

@Shel Masters Regarding the occupants in the home, I've heard in the past that most times you'll have to go through the eviction process yourself or work out a deal/pay the occupants to leave when you win these properties at the tax auction.

I want to make sure ours is 100% comprehensive so we can win the business.

It appears to be a win-win situation for all parties.In hindsight I wish I had tried it, but at the time (for whatever crazy reason) I thought my house was a little to far away from majority of the hospitals (~20 minutes).

@Courtney Radmall Congrats on the awesome WIN!

And also find which method of finding sellers interest me the most and always try to have a Win Win Win situation, for sure.

We root for each other and learn from our wins, losses, etc.

In Costa Rica, pretty much only foreigners can afford them, and mostly wealthy foreigners who don't care to pay top dollar for a property.If you look at the return performance between Costa Rica and Mexico, Mexico win hands down both in terms of rental income and capital gain.

It ends up being a win-win situation for everyone.

A strategy that has been a win for me and a win for the contractor is to have the contractor go and pick up material then I pay by phone once the contractor is at the contractor's check out.
