This market is hot right now, so if it is a good deal you may have to pay over asking price.

Note: I think this is a really hot area which will continue to grow given the proximity to Brooklyn, which has exploded the last few years. 2) bought my new primary 1 family forclosure home for $325 in 2016 and house hacked it to get some supplemental income, which covers ~50% of my mortgage.

Find you a realtor in your market that understands the investment side, then meet with investors at your local REA.

Even in a hot market (Durham is very very hot) deals are out there!

Yes it will help as an investor, But getting a license comes with its down sides.

I see many signs on the side of the road of people that buy homes.

Also, as a side effect, you'll need more cash on hand to deal with issues as they come up.

I'd build up the left side of the facade until it was at an even elevation with the right side (you would most easily check this with a laser level.

I full intend to claim it but wanted to make a general stereotypical statement that when someone makes a relatively small amount of cash on the side, they don't claim it.

Please see the picture above and advise on what the "Very Hot " (market temp) means?
