I noticed you pointed out the bricks but condition was hard to determine in videoExterior paint.

The property is sold "As Is" condition and zoning.The application of a professional auction goes far beyong talking fast on the block.

i learned alot about real estate while doing that and as i was figuring it all out DESPITE LAWYERS AND OTHER "EXPERTS" TELLING US WHAT WE SHOULD DO - something struck me and said - YOU CAN DO IT.i lived 33 years of my life with an employee mindset.

RE agents, title companies, joing RE Forums, Hard Money lenders, traditional banks, local builders, RE Lawyers, and even city halls.

most home owners are already burdened enough with using and paying for realtors, lawyers and closing costs...investors need to sell their homes - they might not blink twice at using your services?

-the very basics, that im sure u know allready: price, general condition of structure, property size.

The pod cast suggested writing to several people becasue not all of them will want to sell, but chances are that someone out there would rather have the money now than waiti to collect it over the next 5 or more years.Once they agree to sell, the lawyers get involved and then you own that mortgage and the debt is now paid to you with interest.I am sure that there is a way to purcahse the loans from banks also, but I am not sure how unless you just call them up and ask.

Now, if there are other legal ways for me to improve my tax situation, of course that would be nice but with only 2 properties at this point, it hasn't been worth my effort to really investigate.Obviously I'm not even close to a CPA or a Lawyer but would gladly take free advice on how to save myself a few bucks...

And the condition of a property that you rent or that you want to live in are often like night and day.

You would only have to have the lawyer look at it once.
