Also check if the property is in an hoa for possible dues you may inherit, current/past due property taxes, etc.In addition I suggest U simply attend one to get the lay of the land.. see who the players are  how its functions etc.. most jurisdictions have their set rules they follow and are unique to that county..  

The best part is that everyone here is excited to help you learn and grow into real estate investing.

Hello BiggerPockets community,My name is Jonathan Bifulco, and I am excited to start investing in real estate.

Excited to get started on my real estate investing journey. 

I am excited to finally join and check out the podcasts and videos.

I’m brand new to the real estate investing world and I’m excited to be here.

We're excited! 

This is my 3rd property so I am excited to continue expansion.

We had an 8:30AM zip line adventure (in the rain) with a 7 and 8 year old; so, we ramped up the excitement again the following morning.  

Here in Northern Florida what we've seen is that earlier this year a lot of owner-occupiers snatched up properties at bid-up prices, got all excited to be going into their dream home, and then the bank sent the appraisers out and the appraisals came back at significantly less than the price the house got bid up to, and they didn't have the cash to make up the difference.
