:)I'd also like to mention that it's my responsibility within the organization to decide whether it's a "flip" or a "rent" market.

'course, the trick is to know what #s work for you and your method/approach to whatever the objective you're trying to achieve!

What exactly is your objective and your goals (and should be more defined than just buying a property)?

Also, if there is a lien on the property from a financial organization, you may have to deal with them, but ultimatly, they will have to go to the borrower and they can not hold you responsible for the note.

I believe the meeting organizer is @Brian Hayes (not sure how to make the name link).  

I have been working at a non- profit organization for the last 15 years and am switching careers to Real Estate!! 

I use my membership to help me manage a non profit tax exempt "Community Housing Development Organization" of income producing property owners.  

My main objective is to have rental properties.Kathy Daniels

This will help you, to focus you learning and ask pertinent questions specific, to your REI Objectives.

I took a while organizing myself, but finally I'm here, officially.
