Today, I double checked with the agent about the past two years of financial statements, in order to better analyze the numbers.

We priced out our kitchen appliances: fridge, dishwasher, double wall oven, 5 burner cooktop, for what we thought was a good price.

Esq's often double and triple these fees to take there cut and bill you for it .

Only thing I'd mention is while the areas have higher rent than purchase price in Cleveland I'd double check that the residents are the ones you want in there, the turnover isn't historically high there and market in general checks out based on your criteria (jobs being #1).

I was told I was getting back more than double what I got back last year, when not much has changed other than my taxes going up a little and same with my homeowners insurance.

I would also double check that is actually in pre-foreclosure.

With both states potentially taxing the source income, you will typically get a credit back when you file to at least partially offset any double taxation.

If you're thinking about resale, you'll need to hold 3-5 or 4-6 years (unless you're in Austin, or Dallas) and you should double your original investment in this market, but you won't cash flow a ton while you wait. 

get it under contract, start the evictions, and then assign the contract or double close it?

So I am reaching out to the BP community for advice and or possible investment opportunity for someone.I do not have all the details as of yet, but what I know is the property sits on a double lot one block from the beach (in a very popular beach town).
