I am slowly going crazy with how expensive Massachusetts is and I am leaning towards looking at cheaper foreclosure properties.I understand there is some risk to this but I am beginning to think this is the only option I will have because of how fast the market is growing.Thank you for any insight you may have!

I want to take this opportunity by qualifying for REP status.I have also been meaning to build 2 units in my backyard and put them on rent.

I imagine that the list is short and full of risk.

If you don’t urgently need the money, letting appreciation and rent growth work in your favor for another year or two might put you in a much stronger spot.If your goal is to stay liquid while keeping expenses low, a HELOC is probably your best bet for now.

It’s amazing a website this large and with this much revenue cannot put a viable app together..

My birthday is one month from now and my goal is to put in the work I need to to quit my 9-5 job by then.

No writing needed. more common than you think  lets say I am buying a 500k prop and putting 20% down I might put 50k down payment into escrow but NO EM.. 

Do I have grounds to put a lien myself or levy the property from the owner?

If you don't have $10k cash on the sidelines you're taking on risk.

I know there is a lot that I'm going to need to learn, and ultimately it will come down to how much the student puts into it.
