Foreclosures are on the rise here in Massachusetts and I am looking to get involved in working with banks.

If they anwser with a gasp or a look of shock and awe, then I explain that I do real estate to put food on the table and that with all the risks involved that is the most I can give.

lolGlad to see my little words are taken to heart by some of the guru's on the site.The thing I wanted to add to my quote is one word that looms in everyone's vocabulary, that is capable of killing EVERY deal you look at:[size=18][/size][b]COMPROMISE[size=12][/size] In my dealings, the first set of cost numbers I run are usually the highest AND most accurate (not saying they are realistic).Investors, and mostly new investors fall into the Compromise trap.The numbers don't look good, you take another look at what's involved in the deal and search for area's you can cut costs without any real basis for doing so.You say to yourself, "All I have to do to get my profit up is use less expensive materials and do some of the work myself so I will save on labor."

I will be posting a subject in the "starting out" section asking for constructive criticism and thoughts from others who have raised capital, and found partners (or for that matter invested or became involved as partners) to further their RE portfolios.

If multiple like-kind replacement properties are involved in the same tax-deferred like-kind exchange transaction and not all of the replacement properties are acquired it results in a partial 1031 exchange.Investors should consult with their tax advisor to determine if completing a partial tax-deferred like-kind exchange still makes sense.

From rehabs, rentals, owner carries, lease options, wholesaling, subject to's, contract for deeds, apartments, commercial, and developing.Your market, your capital, your credit, and your motivation dictate what the best options are.If you are wanting to get involved in a market where houses average $500K then $100K needs to be carefully allocated in a rental or rehab situation even on a single family home.

shep,wholesaling involves 3 parties...the seller, the assignor and the assignee (eventual buyer of property).assignor contracts to purchase from seller...and then assigns the contract to an actual buyer who's going to actually purchase the property. assignor makes money basically from finding the property, tying i tup through contract and then by selling it (the contract) to a buyer.make sense?

Landlord is littlebit crazy kind (On one occasion when I complained about some minor issues he started shouting and screaming over the phone with lots of F*** words since then I actually stopped communicating to him) and I think I may have to involve authorities, if that stage is reached where should I complain or should I just get the help of attorney.In any case I would appreciate your response and help in my problem.thanks in advance,Rental7

I'd recommend you get involved with atleast one of them and start plugging in.
