Hey BP,My Dad always says, "What you don't know, and what you can't see can hurt you"I need some clarification/guidance on what this process is supposed to look like.Please critique the hell out of this:Find RE AgentLook for propertiesWalk through a potential deal, and estimate costsMake an offerAccepted - Due Diligence beginsConfirm Clean Title, Wait for HML to underwrite deal, and get Home InspectionEverything turns out great, we close, start/complete work, sell, make money.Assuming this is right, I have an agent who's been finding properties for me.

What resources / sites people are using to research local laws before jumping in?

Washington Landlord's Association web site!

A tip I have heard is stop and speak with contractors on random project sites while you are out and about. 

Own the ground/building with a tower/cell site on it and collect the lease revenue. 

I love this site...

Wholesaling has become popular in BP and other sites because of the no money down syndrome.

If you know anyone in the construction business, even if its your cousins neighbors brother in law, hit them up about hanging out at the job site for a day.

Trust me, it will show much better when they leave and you have gone in to touch up paint and clean the place.

I am about to purchase a duplex.I was informed that it had meth in it, but was cleaned and certified for good bill of health.Does the fact that it has had this issue hurt value when compared to similar duplexes in the same location that have not had the issue?
