I'm new to real estate investing.I am interested because I believe in income-producing assets rather than allowing my savings to lose value in the bank.I would like to learn from you all online and in person.Please let me know which REI groups/clubs in my area that you recommend.thanks in advance!

Should they list for market price and risk losing the property to foreclosure?

It is a good rendering of below market properties throughout the valley.I like it for my uses and hate to lose that, the monthly price is just over what I comfortably want to pay.My question is: how useful would something like this be to an investor who is purchasing multiple properties a month?

They are trying to move something that won't move easily with other financing or that won't appraise for asking price.

You have nothing to lose!

The flip side of that is, if he moved we could renovate his unit and easily get 40% more income for it, plus the added (forced) value because this is a commercial property (5+ units).

If you put down your EMD and don't close you will lose it and there is no inspection contingency.

Basically, all loan calculators work on the  similar mathematical formula: [P x R x (1+R)^N]/[(1+R)^N-1where P stands for the loan amount or principal,R is the interest rate per month [if the interest rate per annum is 11%, then the rate of interest will be 11/(12 x 100)],and N is the number of monthly installmentsAs you have all three figures i.e your total loan amount, rate of interest and the period, then you can easily calculate its EMI on the basis of above formula.

I don't want to lose this property (it's a tremendous deal) but I don't want to commit to losing my EMD if the POS comes back at some sky-high number!

If I get it under contract I could easily take that to a HML and get a proof of funds letter.
