When it comes to getting rid of neighborhood drug dealers or unsavory activity that affects your investment, I like Rule #15: Always work as a team.For various (often silly) reasons, we shy way from working with neighboring landlords and property owners.

Maybe a flipper, maybe a landlord, but an active buyer nevetheless.Also look for the lenders on recent transactions.

Not many here are into larger projects, at least the active bunch, but we may have lurkers that do and just have had no one to kick ideas around with......so jump in!

Part of the willingness to make offers far below asking price is dependend on just how active the buyer wants to be.

I don't know exactly what he is wanting to do and how engaged he is willing to be but I don't want to take advantage of his offer.

You'll get newspapaer, radio and TV coverage, sponsors for materials, benefit and fund raising activities to work with.

I'd suggest when yoy talk to your attorney about forming the LLC that you include, specifically all kinds of activities in your Operating Agreement and Certificate of Incorporation and not rely on that catch all description of doing all things.

I have not been very active on the Bigger Pockets Forums lately due to some personal experiences.

There are a couple of groups for people in Vegas, but they aren't very active.

I suggest you crunch some numbers and if reducing principal is your best use of funds with such low current rates (unlikely if you're an active investor) I suggest yo always take the longer amoritization and make additional payments to the mortgage.
