The best advise I ever got was to figure out what kind of tenants you want to rent to and then buy property they will rent.

Very similar situation in that he began to resent performing physical work while I was "sitting behind a computer" even though this was what we agreed to (verbally, not in writing) and he wanted to start hiring out all the physical work.I would advise finding some other way to do the deal, like what Brian suggests.

I advise those who ask me, plan their transition from part time to full time investor very carefully and not to rush.

My current deal is using HomePath for investors from Fannie Mae.Can I get advise on the deal here or do I need to go to a different section?

I am thinking about Co wholesaling to help build up a little CASH ,Its new to me So any Advise with be GREAT !

I don't know if you've read any of the Peter Conti & David Finkel's books on the subject but they instruct you to employ the same method the man in the comment aboved advised you to.

Since you are so new, advising her that filing Bankruptcy is an effective means of delaying a foreclosure sale would be the single most helpful thing you could do.

But you still need to be able to read between the lines, and hence I still would not advise you bidding on the property unless others show up to bid on it as well.

I think I will take your advise and just make up the lost cash by partially financing my next project instead of a straight purchase and go the beneficiary route for my mother's home.

I would advise against a HELOC in this case, they are usually interest only loans for 10 years then reset and start a repay period.
