Your example clearly explains how to view a property and some variables that come into play and what to watch for.

the city of oakland plays hardball with the variances but if you're willing to spend some money and jump thru some hoops you just might get lucky.

It’s a new ball game with the new tax laws and I am still assessing. 

Hi @Andrey Y.The Multifamily Millions business model by David Lindahl which I am following for repositioning value plays allows me to force appreciation by increasing the NOI dramatically in an 18 month to 3 year period by finding burnt out landlords (in their 70's and 80's) that have their properties primarily paid off and are just not doing this right. 

They have more skin in the game then you do.Make sure you get clear title.

It’s important to figure out which sport you want to play and get coached in that sport by someone who is successful in that sport.

Most of my current real estate is in Springfield, MO and I have found it to be a decent place for the buy-and-hold game.

I played Division 1 Baseball at Prairie View A&M just outside of Houston, TX.

Granted, not all distressed homes are alluring or promising deals yet, as I have to evaluate the cost of repair and look for comps to make sure high ARVs are in play. 

Can anyone tell me about the Affidavit of something that also has to be filed, and also once I have the signed contract can anyone give me a referral on a title company that does double closings in the Atlanta area....Hopefully this will be my first wholesale deal....I'm tired of sitting in the cheap seats....I MUST get in the game.
