I will say that the site is amazing slow with Win 2000.

The high bidder can win the bid by being 1.00 higher than anyone else NET to HUD.

thank you both for your wise words, well anyway i guess i'm just so anxious to do my first deal. especially a deal like this were the homeowner is in distress and states to you how much equity is in the property (i know i'm a beginner, but i don't see how he'll benefit by lieing to me about the amount of equity in the property, because he already stated he doesn't want to sell the property, and i already stated to him i'm gonna view the property/mortgage paperwork)well anyway i must say i agree with you both, from first look it seems the best way to do this deal (thats if all the number are right) will be to purchase the house for the amount left on the mortgage, and give them moving cash and etc (this way i'll have alot of instant equity within the property, which i could either wholesale to another investor or put it on the market at a small discount and sell it retail because of the properties perfect condition, then i could even try a short sale to build up more equity to make the two above tactics more profitable for me)now the only tactic i can think of that would work, were they will get to stay in there house and will be profitable/beneficial to me as well is to then purchase the property real cheap (whats owed on it) and offer to lease option it back to them at a higher interest rate and at a higher property price, but i think this tactic will be risky with this individual because of his credit and the nature of work he's in (construction were some parts of the year your without work and tring to collect unemployment) so this is what i plan on doing, i first plan on putting together a list of questions i must get answers to at the tuesdays meeting i plan on having with them, then i plan on explaining the whole foreclosure process to them and the uphill battle they face (which i hope will change their position about not wanting to sell their house under any cumstances), then i plan on making a smooth exit and letting them know i'll be back in contact with them to let them know what i think their best solution is to solve their problem (this tactice is to buy time, so i can really cruch the numbers and speak with others to really figure out the best win-win for everyone, thats if their is a deal their)if anyone has any other suggestions please let me know

That type of housing is simply not available in my community.

I am finding these calculations outrageous...although I am willing to learn if they are simply the truth and my inexperience has led me to believe otherwise.

Why would you take an inferior return on a rental property when you could simply invest that money in a safe CD.

She said that recent court decisions have pierced the single member LLC on the basis that it was simply an alter-ego of the member.You are not going to get sufficient knowledge of this subject by asking a few questions on the internet.

Most of the time the T/B is lost on what to do next, this is a win, win, win for everyone.Curt

I lost a years salary and sleep simply because I was waiting for a better price.

When I evaluate the deal as a package it looks pretty good, but when I break each unit out and run the numbers several are falling short because the rents are below market.My question is, how do you evaluate this deal, both ways as I am, then go back and get a better price on the low performers or do you simply look at the big picture or do I factor in that the rents have to come up to meet the market?
