some newbie agents will do this for experience ... top end producers will not.. unless they set up an assistant to do it.. and if your just acquiring it would be harder.. if your acquiring and then fix and flipping and giving list backs well that's another kettle of fish all together along with price points.

I have been spending time studying materials on BP to know more about real estate investing.I plan to invest  in Nigeria and Uae but there are no post ,blogs or articles on BP that i have read so far that talks extensively or give strategies based on this two markets .So the challenge I have is that most of the post on Bp talking about stragies of acquiring a property and rentals does not really tally with the Nigerian market.

Either way he would profit immensely  1) if he could force a payoff of his note through refinancing he would  receive a payoff  of more than 250%  of the money he paid for the discounted note, or 2) if he acquired the property through foreclosure his profits would be several times greater.  

After two years of BP homework I'm very happy, relieved even, to have acquired my first buy and hold single family residential home in McKinney, tx.

Hi I'm new to real estate investing and I recently learned about acquiring a property Sub2, but something came across my mind is that if I got the property and wanted to rent it out but the home need repairs or updates in order to gain more monthly rental income where would I be able to get the funds from to do so?

;)  Word has it that Bank of America has "acquired" those properties from TBW, but of course, this property isn't listed anywhere, and BOA no longer has any phone communication with their REO department.  

You can expect to pay thousands each month to the city in violations, plus the additional time/expense of remedying each one and getting it inspected (see above).AEP: NYC rolled out a program implemented by HPD targeting the 200 worst buildings in the city, based on violations.

In the recent survey done, it was estimated that many people who are expending on per month basis on the rentals want to switch it to mortgage so that in the process they will be acquiring the property.

I'm 19 years old and want to have a jump start on my career and it begins with which asserts are best to acquire at the age that I am now ?

1) FLIP or REHAB AND RENT OUT: Currently in for 215k, need 20k mold remediation then about 85K-100K rehab, might be able to sell for $350-390K.
