If they have been pocketing the cash and cheating the system they will have saved in taxes and now it will cost them in sales value.  

Hello everyone.I am grateful to have the Bigger Pockets community to interact with and this is my first post.

If you had $2 million burning a hole in your pocket, a good deal would look a lot differently, right?

Hello Everyone,My name is Pablo and I wanted to introduce myself to everyone here in the Bigger Pockets community by making my first post.

Even after a discount they will pocket more money than letting to go to auction. 

I have been on the fence of hiring a very credible mentor, however after reading the few chapters of the intro of Bigger Pockets, I am not quite sure what I should do.

I decided on Charlotte after conducting a ton of research on the top markets in the US, and taking a variety of factors into consideration:Home ValuesAverage Rent / Income ratiosUnemployment RatesCrimePopulationEconomic GrowthNet Migrationand most importantly, where we'll be happyI started out with Bigger Pockets own excellent 2017 Market Analysis, and added my own numbers to help me give more weight to the factors I felt were most important.

Problem is I'm in NY, condo is in MA.At the condo I lived at, no one want to pay for repairs out of their own pocket, insists the HOA pay for everything.

Hey Bigger Pockets Folks....Can anyone recommend a good Property Management Company with reasonable rates?

Another way to look at the numbers is by percentage return for example if you buy the sfr for $100k put $100k into the rehab and sell for $275 ($50k profit in your pocket after your holding costs, etc).
