Send me a PM and well figure out a time to meet up.Talk soon,William Lees Jr

@Kathir Shanmugam @Jim Robertson Have either of you gone to any local REIA meet ups?

It looks like they usually meet on Tuesdays and I have a schedule conflict.

Here in Barrie, it is standard practice for the students to pay an all-inclusive rent.  

Looking forward to meeting and learning from all of you!

Depending on the value of the property you will need to show up with $x,000 in certified funds to register to bid and if you are the high bidder you will need to increase your deposit to y% (typically 10%) of the high bid within a couple of business days. 30 days settlement is standard, so financing is possible.The difference in risk level between private auctions and foreclosures is huge.

You need to see if that margin meets your investment goals and can give you enough contingency for a major repair if and when it happens.

Dawn - just wanted to let you know if you are still interested in the Medford/ SO area that we started a meet up group to connect and network with others interested in real estate investing - the next meet up is Jan 27th at 7:00 at the Point Pub in Central Point -  here is the link to the meetup page:https://www.meetup.com/Rogue-Valley-Real-Estate-Investors-Network/

I appreciate any feedback and I'd love the opportunity to meet or talk with any local investors on this topic.Thanks,Josh

I look forward to meeting you online and possibly in person.
