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.  

I am a new student to the snap clip I was a bit skeptical as well is there any thing else I can do to check further regarding the snap flip program I will be attending the three-day seminar starting the 12th the 13th and the 14th from what you say I'm assuming that it's safe and legitimate I did spend $1,147 just as well and I included my 33 year old daughter as my guest just to give her an outlook on how the game is played to a certain degree any input that you may have other than what you've already shared I would greatly appreciate it although I will be attending the three-day event I am still skeptical until I find something other than what I'm thinking thanks once again for sharing if you have more I would greatly appreciate it.

Hi All,Really excited to have discovered Bigger Pockets and this awesome community!  

If your total investable money is $60K, maybe spread that across three different properties.  

With these types of people, I usually tell them that $700 a month isn’t really very much at all to pay for a three-bedroom home with a full basement, fenced in backyard and a garage.

This scenario comes down to numbers and what makes sense but for me I think putting less down to buy works well for keeping cash in your pocket for future investments/ rehab or maintenance.

I didnt know about bigger pockets back then I bet this group could have helped me find a lender willing to loan me the money.
