I also am looking to downsize and reduce my tax burden from where I am now.There are some strange things that I have seen and I was hoping that this forum would be able to answer my questions.I have been watching a house auction that has been delayed many times.  

I would argue that if you are dependent solely on ANY RE agent (be they a buyer's agent or a listing agent) to watch your back and serve only your best interest, then you are eventually in for some big trouble.

I would suggest you watch the market close though, the over $1000 properties in the okc metro are moving extremely slow right now.  

So I would just watch out for extra maintenance, look for wood rot and/or termites.

Best thing we can all do is watch the trends and change our approach as needed. 

I have been pumped after reading, and watching a lot of podcasts about passive income potential, and rehabs too.Last week, I acquired two adjacent properties.  

What should I watch out for?

And we've yet to actively look for them - so I need to get this figured out, and soon.Thanks for any advice, tips or information about pitfalls to watch out for!

If interested I would also recommend that you watch my video.

You have to always assume there is that one neighbor who likes to play neighborhood watch and report people.
