Should I be going to any type of specific lenders that specialize in condos??

There is nothing special about it.

Try finding a contractor that specializes in "make ready" services.

With an auction it will be advertised(pretty much) that its vacant and the copper pipes are free for the taking.They don't want to heat it for the winter, prepare it for sale, deal with inspection.

It goes over everything you need for your exam as well as give you lots of example test questions to prepare you.

Awesome Hector.I am sure we would all like to hear your wealth of knowledge.I specialize in triple net and apartment buildings as a commercial broker and investor as well.

However, you can prepare to have the work done before you close.For instance, if you're going to be doing the work/repairs yourself, take any measurements you need and buy any supplies you'll need beforehand so that you're ready to get to work as soon as you close.

Further, how do you prove where you spent two hours or 10 hours.Several years ago I had an attorney (from a firm that specialized in landlord/tenant law) review my lease.

(I know - dumb move - but he didn't have it prepared until closing and I trusted him).

You will only be taxed on the profit provided your return is prepared correctly.
