I feel a local, reputable management group that is local will be able to provide much better service to my guests.Thanks again, and I'm sure I'll have additional questions as my new adventure unfolds.

I said I would do it next month and then he said the cost could be just $600.A contractor that cuts his price in half within 3 minutes of talking isn't very reputable. 

Have you explored a HELOC?

Find a reputable real estate agent and set up an automatic notification system to email you properties that meet your set criteria right off MLS...this is totally free.The only thing I can extract from your post is that perhaps you need to have a pre-qual letter prior to making an offer?

Perhaps there is an interesting idea to explore later on my idea of what it means to "buy a foreclosure [property]", essentially that does not mean the same as discount, which I find common in the public.To some degree, it's a little bit of an art.

If you can make it cash flow, give them 12% for 5 years, just don't pay too much or they will end up owning it again.I don't think there is an app for what you're asking, you may need to use some shoe leather as horrible as that may sound, it works.You can sure look for distressed properties and sales.....but another issue, if you don't have the money to buy, do you have the ability to repair, improve a complex, change it's reputation in the area, draw new tenants and make some trash pile profitable?

which ever company installs it should be reputable and insured

Hi ThereI'm exploring to purchase auction property.

I am currently in the beginning stages and just exploring my options.

I heard it all from the "manager", who had a reputation for being sneaky along with his attorney.
