Hello,I am looking to begin real estate investing and have been doing research on obtaining real estate via the Subject To method. 

It also means you are subject to inspections every 3 years and if the city then says "We know require Wireless smoke alarms" or we require mold-certificates, or some such new thing, cuz it's WHATEVER they decide(!)

Hello all, I am looking for a little advice on obtaining financing on my first deal.

The title company tells me that the daughter only has to get a death certificate and become the personal representative and the process should not take much time.Others are telling me it may have to go through probate, this may be a very lengthy process and our contract is null and void since the owner died,  that I should contact the daugther directly. 

Buy the ground rent after a title search is performed locating the owner or get a redemption certificate from the State.

Or will that not really make a difference when it comes time to obtain a mortgage on a new investment?

Was it difficult to obtain permits (if you needed them in your area) and how long did the process take?

Hope someone can help me:  I need a reliable Skip Trace service to obtain accurate phone numbers for addresses of pre-foreclosures.

No matter what you buy or obtain, have an attorney review them before using them.

Sure you have some people who aren't as good as they let on business-wise but can really talk the talk (that's half the people in the USA these days) but on the other hand there were also people involved who were great investors, whether buying and holding, flipping, buying tax lien certificates, etc and yet still went the seminar route as instructors because they simply enjoyed sharing their knowledge and the money could be damned good - some of the instructors were making serious money.
