I speak with about 3 agents a week and I have one broker at the moment.

Then you pay balance on the sale amount usually within a week for free, within 30 days with 10% interest - and wait till the deed is ready You can during that time to ask your title company to do the search and extend the title insurance but it's not for mechanic liens or taxes - you'll pay all that.That's why it's important to research the property through before you say "bid".  

I reached out to the lawyer representing the plaintiff (the house has not foreclosed yet, the estate still owns it but it is scheduled for auction in 2 weeks)The lawyer of coarse could not disclose a payoff amount to me so I called the executor and told him what to ask the lawyers.

There is no single, definitive plan.Consider an example of going out to dinner with me, telling me all about what you have eaten over the last week and asking me: if you were me, what would you order for dinner if you were me?

My plan is to send out 1000 postcards every five weeks and get a website. 

Eight properties later and I still tune in every week for my dose of creativity and inspiration.Best of luck to you and keep us posted on your journey!

It was coincidence that when I did this I went away for a couple weeks, but when I came back, no bed bugs.

My Goal: To purchase properties, SFD or Multi, to create $8,000 in passive income within the next five to six years to retire and enough the little time I would have left with my children before they leave my home. 

While Hawaii didn't work out, i've since lost 90lbs, converted to Catholicism, found somewhat enjoyable full time employment that lets me put in a generous amount of overtime (Last week I worked 65 hours and on average 55+ hours a week, I haven't had a day off in months), started to tackle overwhelming student loan debt, volunteer, well...you get the idea. 

In this analysis, income stability takes precedence over job stability. 4155.1 4.D.1.d Borrowers Returning to Work After Extended Absences A borrower’s income may be considered effective and stable when recently returning to work after an extended absence if he/she is employed in the current job for six months or longer, and can document a two year work history prior to an absence from employment using traditional employment verification, and/or copies of W-2 forms or pay stubs.
