To restate the question, when you formed your business, what costs did you fail to notice?

Any terms or rates mentioned are subject change without notice.

I've been tracking my investment area and noticed that the RE market has faired pretty well this winter.

Another Court House situation: I saw a notice for a trustee sale that looked good to me.

I've wholesaled both and the differences I noticed were:1) You'll want to get a survey so that you know exactly where the property begins and ends.2) In NJ (and the northeast in general) there are issues with underground storage tanks (UST's) that were used from the 30's going forward when many homes were converted from coal heat.

I have been shying away from these fannie mae homepath properties for this reason.

I look on zillow and most of the time i notice that the selling price is often on par or higher than the zillow estimate!

Should I use a land trust to hold the property so the mortgage company doesn't notice the change in ownership.

Also I have noticed a lot people don't favor so called guru's, which i totally agree with , instead of listening just one or two i grabbed as many as i could over the years and picked out what makes sense and whats totally bull.

Giving some form of constructive notice would probably be the best, but I'm not even really sure where to deliver it to.
