Dave You can send me a PM I have a crew up there in LA that can give you a bid..

I bought it sight unseen as I viewed it as a small development project, did my due diligence up front and didn’t really care about the state of the house.There were 5 offers on the property to which I ended up knowing a few of the other bidders.

This becomes even more important if you’re a high earner because taxes can eat up a significant portion of your income.

Or its best not to bring it up so he would not necessarily let the insurance coverage know?

You can't show up new to an auction like that and "win".

I'm trying to buy, fix, and rent real estate and created an LLC with my partner who is putting up most of the capital but he will not handle operations at all.

Hourly consultation is preferred, and the ability to eventually draw up the docs.

We'll let me sum it up.

I am a real estate broker and investor with a small portfolio but hoping to scale up.

In some cases up to 85% of the sales price of the property is accessible on purchase transactions.
