Here are five crucial tips to help you stay profitable and avoid costly mistakes:Buy Smart, Not Just Cheap – In today’s market, finding deep discounts is tough, but focusing on properties with value-add potential is key.

If loan balance is $300k and it's worth $400k and an equity partner puts $40k to bring it current then they have about 40% of equity in the property - now they would not take straight $40k as probably more costs involved.

Flip properties.  

Some state regulate what happens to a security deposit when a property transfers.

If you're in a high-cost area, consider out-of-state markets where you could buy a rental property outright. 

From owning this property, I have learned so much and overall it has been a great experience!

Depending on the State in which the property is located, foreclosure starts through a judicial process or a non-judicial process.
