Taxes can be precisely calculated from your tax accessor's website (most of the time its online), and for insurance I'd call your agent and ask for a quote.

Wow, I bet he's been waiting over 2 years for that info...Just kidding

Tread carefully - betting on appreciation alone in today's market is too risky a game for me to play.

What are your calculations for 2 closing costs, carrying costs, and financing costs?

I would think that having the kitchen and living room upstairs and the bedrooms downstairs would be the best bet, but moving plumbing can be costly.

Nonetheless, I am also interested in some type of calculation software if anyone has any recommendations.

Foreclosure notices in one way or another will be posted at the local courthouse.Your best bet is to do mailouts and contacting them face to face.

Then calculate the seller's cost to sell.....title insurance, taxes, ect...

You could setting your browser not to allow cookies and then browse your site to see if you get any problems.I know that googlebot can follow javascript links, but the last time I seriously looked into it, it seemed that Google was choosing not to follow such links and wasn't using them in the calculation of pagerank.

I can tell anyone who cares to listen firsthand that when someone wants to rip you off, and you didn't do better due dilligence up front, and didn't take steps to protect yourself your best bet is to get over it and move on.The worst part about that whole deal is to stay wallowing in all that bad energy.
