They're smaller, tend to be on long, skinny lots (for a while most cities charged property tax on how many feet of street access you had, so you had a lot of long, skinny lots), and are in older areas of town.You can also find out the years properties were built by checking out the county records, or other means of snooping on one's neighbors- like http://www.city-data.com/, which is a good, free resource to get demographics of an area, and you can also go up and down streets (in my city at least) and find out what the tax records say- bedrooms, bathrooms, tax appraised value, all that good stuff.There's lots of places and tools to get that information, but that's one of the sites I use a lot.

I am also very good at organizing things-plus I have lots of time to devote since I recently quit my job at Chase!

I held the deed in my name and used a Land Contract where I dont' have to record anything, I believe.I'd appreciate any direction in this area and thank you in advance.

I've already interviewed one who has a five year track record in my area, and will be interviewing another one before making my decision.

I'm guessing you've done the basics of using different death records services online and the newspapers obit records at the local library?

Can someone set the record straight as to how many investment property cash out refis you can have under one persons name (not on a business, but personally under my name).

You will receive a monthly return regardless of the property's performance.The risk here is non-performance by the property owner, but you can have the title company or closing attorney hold a quit claim or warranty to be recorded upon default.When buying and holding, I prefer to have money partners to use a debt financing arrangement if they want nothing to do with the property.

I am not really sure how you would benefit from organizing your holdings to do such either.Let's see, you will get your housing allowance whether you "rent from yourself" or not.

Also, how difficult is it to look at the condo association's financial records and determine if they are in trouble (before you buy)?

This is why I believe it would be beneficial to have a recorded event.Some of the speakers have said they are already going to record themselves.As far as promoting yourself I think these guru's (speakers) miss the point."
