Be careful who you select as an inspector.

Curt - I have two big questions - how to market for rental properties that cash flow, and how to select a good property manager if I get more properties.Kirk - I have a friend in Dallas who has a brother that is a RE investor.

The bank is going to be a whole different game, like you said. baby steps....Yes I'll definitely be getting an attorney if I see this going forward....no question about that for sure...

I just hope that I'm not getting into the game too late.

For those who are considering gift giving, I suggest that you do it selectively.

I am not an attorney or CPA but I did stay at a Holiday Inn Express last night so…RE is a relatively simple business (I did not say easy necessarily) that many complicate and take themselves out of the game before they even get started.

This is final nail in the coffin for the investor but an absolute windfall for the tenant.I'm convinced most tenants come out of a foreclosure well ahead of the game.

You have to be very selective and careful when you outsource.

No one seems to be winning in this foreclosure game and as people have said, you are lucky the banks didn't kick you out earlier.I have heard of it being possible to rent directly from the bank... more and more banks are setting up divisions to handle this.

Can't see how McCain was selected over him to represent the Rep. party.
