But if he's known you for a long time and has seen you cave often, then that might only see like an empty bluff to him.Usually people need to hit rock bottom before they help themselves.

They usually don't keep it business like, because you're family and thus you're easily in between a rock and a hard place.2) What if they live another 30-40 years?

You guys rock!

I can run numbers, cash flow analysis etc- believe it or not- even with a 5-20% down I have been finding nuggets here and there that cash flow well- but that which I do not have the down payment for at the moment- he's gotten some passive investors interested in multi's with my analyses for investments.I am also interested in flips- I run into some great flip possibilities that come out as I scour- (duplexes in eagle rock, anaheim,etc).

Just because it is a $600K claim does not mean they will pay and with that large of claim, they will look under every rock to see if there is any type of fraud.Joe Gore

Our city/county has more than 10,000 surplus properties in inventory at the moment that they are selling at literally rock bottom prices.

Hey @Jim Lally I just sent you a colleague request with some of my info I am relocating back this way and am just getting settled Im from Lyme but am now up in East Haddam but working as Realtor with Heritage in Niantic - Ive talked with @Raymond B. and he is great Hi to @Karin DiMauro as well!

Buying a property as an owner occupied and then moving later is an excellent way to build a portfolio quickly and with rock-bottom interest rates.

As to larger areas that will likely be cleared, I'll bet the prices go up generally as with new construction, improved property management measures are taken, given the location, like Rock Away Beach, who has suffered several disasters.We will see.

Real estate easy... as dumb as a rock.
