Just discovered a property locally while looking at single family. Listed at $145,000, assessed at $112k.  Been listed a year and started at $165,000. Built it 1946, Converted into 3, 2 bed 1 bath, units. Supposedly H...

I signed up for bigger pockets awhile back, but, this is my first comment.

The seller simply did not collect security deposits for three of the four units and did not mention this fact at any point up until now. 

They would have broke even and you could have pocketed some serious cash?

Now the third brother lives in a mobile home park down the street and the three houses that were built on his former home sold for north of $5M.

Hello, EveryoneMy name is Justin I am from Savannah, GA, and I new to the bigger pockets forums.

A local investor in Denver with whom I’ve spoken on a few occasions mentioned recently that he has three residential properties he wants to unload. 

For the most part that is true however, after reading a book called "The Deallionaire" by investor John Lee from Missouri (He was a guest on the Jennifer Hammond show), He talks about selling properties that he has bought  for less than $1000 using both conventional and unconventional means such as advertising a property via craigslist, social media marketing or selling through realtors and word of mouth.I'm mainly looking to venture into North Carolina, South Carolina, Georgia, Texas and possible New Jersey for this.I have heard both John Lee and Ankit Duggal (A guest on Bigger Pockets show) mention buying into tax deed/tax liens AFTER the main auctions by simply requesting a list of properties that were still unsold. 

Three years later appreciation has given me an additional $70,000 in equity, my tenants have paid down my debt $10,000 on top of that.

Up until today I was going to sell the home and pay out the pre-payment penalty and pocket the difference.
