You have come to the right place for all your RE education.You can meet fellow Atlanta RE investors/professionals at Georgia Real Estate Association http://gareia.org/ or Atlanta Real Estate Investors Alliance http://atlantareia.com/In addition, there are some meet ups that you could attend as well.Wish you the very best.

You should check out the Central Florida Realty Investors association (cfri.net).

I would be happy to discuss the associated costs but suffice it to say many locations in Baltimore City do support rehab projects.

From the associates I trust and work with in my office the best advice I can give regarding contact with the seller is stay in touch.

If you are the owner of the land, the developer, anyone associated with the project from design through construction, it's a great project.

The realtor asked me to sign a contract prepared by him using a PA realtor association contract which lists me as a consultant paid by the seller.

So, while there are interest payments associated with the funds, it's generally none of my own.

If a broker chooses to join the association of realtors or mls there may be some rules to follow, but these are private organizations, they don't make law.

I currently own a condo and here's my take on the whole thing.A few months ago, I had a great condo under contract ( different association than the one I currently own) that I was looking to hold long term as a rental.

If there is something inherently wrong, such as a utility easement that renders a lot unbuildable, or a subdivision that doesn't show a parcel split on an online map but is recorded, there are often reasons why properties wind up being given up just for taxes, and you should not take them for granted.If you buy a condominium, you will be responsible for association fees immediately.And finally, don't be dumb and forget to file your deed.
