I've actually found some reasonable (SFH) properties in Connecticut by auction, that are below $100k, and that are not in a distressed zip code.These folks on BP seem to be willing and talented to explain the finer details of real estate investing.

I typically am able to achieve this with no $$ down as I get an as completed appraisal and ensure the property appraises for the $$ I need to buy and fix at 80% financed.About a year ago, I got a great deal on the MLS and was able to buy the property, fix it up and still have roughly $20k of equity in it (at 80% value- DETAILS-bought for $50k, invested $30k, appraised for $125k.

They can change the rules like they did to get rid of GRITs in 1990 but the game goes on.Honestly, I think my head would explode if I had to understand all the details.

I haven't been able to find any details on that and I haven't seen any mention of that on here.

I will be outlining the details of a current 2 family property I own.

The details are as follows: DETAILS: (From Owner) I have decided to sell my 17 condominiums and one 1st mortgage note against the 18th unit (73K is owed to me now unit is worth 40k .)

If you have anyone interested in buying in that area based off cash-flow I could get you details.

I am from NJ but I do not know which areas are good and bad besides iron bound.Here is the listing http://www.realtor.com/realestateandhomes-detail/Newark-City_NJ_07103_M67577-14062?

If they ask why you want them just tell them you are very detail oriented and want them for documentation purposes.
