Most of the real deals on REO are in the rear view mirror now that we are several years past the real estate meltdown.

I think he really has to watch what he says about the american economy for political reasons and since his views are so scrutinized by the public/media.  

There are significant tax benefits from a sellers point of view... from a buyers perspective they are nominal. 

I'll be flying out to Rochester in a couple of weeks to view several properties.

I have been educated by a few programs on this topic but would like an unbiased view from the BP community.  

The lawyer they interviewed was a Texan, but I'm sure the principles apply the same here even if the nuances and technicalities differ.I will observe that many of the more extreme asset protection strategies described by the lawyer will not work if your buy and hold properties are financed using traditional mortgage financing.

Recently I've headed a group of  Chicago BP   investors that go out every Saturday to view properties and make offers using no money down lines of credit.

With that being said I am curious how to find out where I can view the market in my area , or see how to get a listing etc .

@Elena Jobson  from what you describe... anyone telling you to get a lawyer is very poor advice the money you would spend on a lawyer would be more than to fix a few plumbing leaks and a dishwasher that probably just needs the plug taken out of it.hot markets are like this.. in many markets you only get an inspection for your benefit the seller does no repairs its that hot.if you really think you have a bone to pick this is what small claims is for. along with checking on the permits.. if this is a licensed contractor he may have a bond and any contractor does not want a complaint filed. these things happen we build brand new homes and there is always a punch list. and such.. its just common.

I am looking to get an unsecured Business LOC similar to what you are describing.
