Have you completed the episode, @Rob Haines? 

I've noticed that the MLS in Chicago has not only totally dried up of good deals, but in some places dried up completely.

So can go into a neighborhood's GIS system and look up what the individual parcels are assessed at and omit the building (also referred to as improvements), typically the real value of nearby parcels is somewhere between 50% and 75% of what the county claims; example: if the Fredericksburg GIS system claims that a certain house's land is assessed at 50K then your investor should NOT buy it at more than 37,500 at the VERY most.One MAJOR point to take into consideration is: an investor that you will help buying a parcel of land is an investor that will have less money to make future purchases.Good luck, and fee free to shoot me any questions as I'm very familiar with the Fredericksburg area and won't hesitate landing a helping hand to fellow BP.

I had to threaten to take her to small claims court and detail all the various grievances I'd bring against her in order to get my money back.)Basically, don't be a jerk and your tenants won't have any reason to be unhappy.

Hi all, we are looking for recommendations for a fencing company to complete one side of a plain chain link fence in a back yard and repair a gate.

My partner and I are completing our first purchase of a quadruplex in Bloomington Indiana.  

One of the markets we invest into in BC's interior currently (Kelowna BC) has less the 1% vacancy rate, the city is going to be opening up the rules for adding a carriage house (or lane-way house) thus giving us a great opportunity to add another rental unit onto an existing property.The banks however will be happy to lend once the project is done but leaves us with a short term cash challenge to get the approx 200k to get the project up and complete. 

I have already had a survey of the land completed to verify that it is zoned for duplex development and have a vision for how I would like to develop the land. 

Thanks, Matt, it's been more than a year since the tax sale, so I believe that's also the timeline to claim those funds.

I know there are books out there claiming you don't need credit to get into real estate, but you then need all the ducks to fall into place.
