I am a friendly landlord in their eyes.Here is an added benefit for me that you, Jon, remined me of; collecting multiple payments during the month allows me to be alerted of a problem sooner.

mike, that's exactly what i was thinking. even at 5.375, the numbers for multiple homes would work in my favor each time.here's the downside.- i am at 8 and i can get just two more before i max out and can't get mortgage- 80k will get me a dumpy 1 triplex or ok 1 duplex that rent out for ~500 per door- 80k will be around 2 houses for downpayment and updates before it runs out- even in the summer i am having a hard time renting the latest one at $1125 (after a month without applications), so i am sure that is affecting my thinking as well.thanks for the suggestions.

That was this wks lesson (been in it 12 yrs)I haven't decided if will consider this deal, or walk away....I have enough headache in multiple commercial owners situation (shopping center).

After a while those LLC go out of business and they not claim the tax deed after 3 years.Furthermore they fail to pay taxes and therefore the land go to another tax sale.As far as understand, the tax lien certificate owner has to claim the property, the tax deed is not issued automatically.What happens in case of multiple tax lien certificates older than 3 years.Does the tax lien certificates expire?

Have you heard of any software, or other websites that post to multiple classified sites at once?

I am looking at properties in Kingston NY, possible deals, multiple properties from an out of state owner.As for the numbers, how did you calculate?

You typically need to have skin in the game, but at the same time you certainly don't want to drain all of your personal reserves if you don't have to (i.e. if you used up all of your reserves on a traditional downpayment w/a bank - not only would it be gone, but then what's next?

You can choose to download the file in multiple formats, like Excel.

You'd do we'll to make a connection in your letter ("here... fishy fishy") and then try different baits (headlines, or problems solved) over multiple, sequential letters.Your most powerful tool will be the ability to connect and resonate with the owner.

If this is the case should I find another banker and if I do how do I go about it without running my credit multiple times, further bringing my fico down?
