Last year my best deal came from calling the tax delinquent list.

When you sell, interview as many as you need until you feel very comfortable with the one you decide to work with.real estate is a big investment, and for me it's long term, I don't want to have buyer remorse because someone isn't as knowledge as I like.when I was younger,  I was more willing or less experienced,  today I want the same level of knowledge as I offer when I help someone with their tax planning or when I prepar their taxes.....Show me your high level of knowledge,  you are hired.

I see too many investors now, put a significant amount of money in rehab costs and over leverage themselves on hard money loans with low down payments, their properties are not selling and they are lucky to just payoff their current hard money loan via a DSCR refinance. 

My goal for 2025 is to complete 50+ transactions and collaborate with even more people in this community.If you’re a private money lender, investor, or fellow enthusiast feel free to reach out.

During vacancy, I have to incur some costs, such as property tax, property management fees, insurance, and possibly property damages from break-ins.

Have your CPA run this scenario with your numbers; too much money to take advice from the internet!

There are auctions to sell cars, police auctions, tax impounded auctions, antique auctions, etc.

I guess it depends on how much money you have.

There could be local considerations that are tax and inheritance related.Thanks for the reply Ken.

I have looked into hard money loans but they are all for investors.
