There may be an opportunity for some lower end housing in all of that, just not an area I have much experience.  

Yes I did go to the auction and was able to pickup 2 properties, the deeds will be mailed in couple of weeks.It was a great opportunity - more than 400 properties and less crowd/competitors (July 4th week, ppl took days off)

However, I'm a visual learner and would love the opportunity to accompany someone while walking through a property.

I have been told that often they only mandate transferring title back but I suspect they could call the loan and not provide the opportunity to transfer back.  

You Vegas residents, I just posted about an awesome HELOC opportunity with nevada state bank, lock it in at 3.99% 85% ltv and 10 years.

I have been looking into purchasing real estate and I see this as a golden opportunity to get started with house hacking but I want to to make sure sure it’s done right.The question is what would be the best way for me to work with my family so that I can finance a purchase of the home, manage, and rent out the other rooms to start off my real estate endeavors.

I unfortunately was not afforded an opportunity at a younger age to be exposed to the power of passive income, passive income vehicles, compound interest, and a detailed planning for the future.

I think that's a missed opportunity for them.

having a difficult time using both the brrrr and fix and flip calculator because i intend to live in the property for 1 year so not a rehab. these calculators seem to assume i won't live in the property. based on the factors below, i'm hoping someone can poke holes.arv=270krepair=my father who is a general contractor is overestimating at 35k (it's definitely livable, but there's opportunity to upgrade/update such as the roof, floors, cabinets). i'd live there for a year and plan to either flip or rent after the year.annual expected property tax=$7.5klisted price is around $235k ($/sq ft is below comp average)comps within the past year for similar properties around $260-$280kpreferred profit (not too sure about this) but $20k is a target...i guess.estimated rental based on recent is $1.8-1.85k/monthi was thinking about offering $210k max, but the calculators recommended an estimated purchase offer between $160-$175k, which seems extremely low given the livable condition.what am i calculating wrong here? 

It is about 30 miles from end to end and there are various types of investment opportunities.
