Prefer bios or auto-bios over technical.  

This was a meeting where no contracts or anything were signed, strictly people talking real estate.After our meeting I set up an auto email through the MLS for Rob based on the specific towns, price, and types of houses he was interested in buying.Within a couple days Rob got back to me with a list of houses he was interested in seeing.We went out on a Saturday and viewed about 7 multi families in the town of Middletown, CT, a market I am familiar with.Rob knows this market very well too and really did his due diligence upfront on the properties we were planning on looking at.

I'm hoping some of you experts in the community can share an answer or idea which may expedite the process of getting a mechanics lien removed. 

Keep in mind,this house needed absolutely everything (basement, mechanicals, facade, etc), but the investor should be all in around 280k and can easily sell for 375k+ when it's all said and done!

A competent accountant or tax attorney can file legitimate write-offs, deductions, exchanges and other mechanisms provided by law. ?

Do you have your realtor sending you auto MLS updates daily?

If you are disciplined enough (I use auto pay) to make additional principle payments each month then your 30 year can easily turn into a 15 year amortization (or 20 or 18 - whatever).

But it may not be an optimal strategy for a novice real estate investor merely as a mechanism to save a few $$ on flips.Sorry for the length of this.

the only time this would not apply would be government foreclosures (HUD's fannies, freddy and VA's) they update the websites and then there is a several day lag before that information is updated on the mlx.if your realtor cannot set up auto alerts get a new realtor

Think mechanicals you're supposed to depreciate - water heaters, stoves, A/C, plus roofing.
