@Steven Barr I would be searching the land records for “lis pendens” filings which typically coincide with the first foreclosure filing in many jurisdictions. 

I have brokers lining up some pre-approvals but wanted to see if anyone has had some local success with conventional financing or some type of rehab based loans. 

The requirement for the Section 121 exclusion of capital gains on the sale of a primary residence is indeed based on exact dates, not just the calendar year.

You came to the best possible place to grow your network and knowledge base before your first property.I'd recommend checking out local meetups, BP webinars, and BP books.

I have large tracks of land in Alabama and NC.I DM you. 

Hi @Lisa Zoubi, I'm based in Southern California, but I have started my out-of-state real estate journey in Indianapolis.

Those fees are based on the whole price of the property so selling property with 20% equity can shrink down to 10-15% equity pretty quickly which means you lose between 1/4 and 1/2 of what you made. 

My personal houses are self builds, with no mortgage - one off grid and one on family land.

Many hard money lenders are hesitant to provide loans solely for land acquisition, and conventional loans have been somewhat limiting, especially for land deals.What is best strategies for raising private funds.

When we first connect with every investor, we clearly stress that they should always overestimate their expenses and underestimate their income.We don't include expenses that are variable like vacancy, repairs and capex.We offer a suggestion on what they could be based on the past but we plead with everyone to underestimate their income and overestimate their expenses.Thanks again
