A few of the different items I"ve identified so far are their accessibility, what marketing costs to expect, what the profit split is vs. the cost of the mentoring, the mentoring contract itself, experences of past mentees, and whether the mentor has experience in my local market.

In my research of county owned Tax Liens, I've found a couple that are for the common area of a sub-division (lake and park), and a townhouse community (street and parking lot).If I purchased the lien, and then ended up the the deed, could I say block access for the residents if they didn't pay me for my time, expense and some profit?

To get access to the capital, in the future (say after 6 months) you would be able to seek a refi to cash out some of the gain that is now tied up.

Our $99 bundle of internet, phone and tv quickly gets jacked up to $129 due to taxes and use fees, call waiting, caller id and a minor upgrade of the tv channels (if I hadn't upgraded my entire tv lineup would have consisted of local programming, public access and spanish channels).

Like I said the price is bargain, but I want to have a "no kidding" accessment how much all the repairs are going to cost.

Have a great real estate agent on your side, or better yet, get your license in that state so you can get access to the MLS yourself.2.

And, they will both share a common entrance road off the main access road (casino will have other access, but this is the only neighborhood access -- there will be no pass-through traffic in the neighborhood).My thoughts are that it can be bad or good -- values could go up if the casino creates a commercial growth response and a developer wants the small neighborhood for a commercial project, golf course or something along those lines.

No, it won't be on there if you're the buyer (in CA, anyway).Of course, if you have MLS access, you can figure out how much your agent got (and typically you can assume the listing agent did not get more than this, if an REO or corporate flip usually significantly less).

To expand a little more, in an S Corp you can receive income as both earned (paycheck) or passive (stock dividends).

I ended up drilling injection holes below and shooting it with expanding foam.
