Can anyone recommend a mentor for tax lien & deed purchasing ?

Private money sourcing is built on relationships.

I also was thinking about doing a hard money loan.

Have you explored alternative financing options, like hard money loans?

Now in purchase money states like the were we live risk of a default does not exist.. but in a State like Texas a seller could get twisted up pretty bad.

Being able to enter a property with only 5% down means you can leverage your money way more effectively as well.

If you need financial help, ask under the "Finance, Tax, and Legal" forum.

I want money now and I want to invest until the day I die.

Hi AllI'm on my neighborhood association's problem properties community and we are tracking a large property in Kansas City, owned and managed by an out-of-state investor, who is delinquent on taxes and has multiple housing and health code violations.

If I'm understanding correctly, for a cash refinance...If you buy an investment property, fix/repair it, and get a higher appraisal, you can then take the $ difference and put a down payment on another investment, etc.If so, are there tax implications with a cash refinance?
