I look at debt as good and bad.  

If you can wholesale much better. most like if in bad condition low ball the hell outta guy.. if hes a bad landlord or just plain lazy he would sell unless he has sentimental values.

I got into a bad deal a number of years ago that put me in a whole, and also zapped my cash flow.  

The online estimates are good in some areas, bad in others so if you haven't looked at any sale prices for properties that have sold you should start there.He is going to be more willing to negotiate terms if you don't badger him too much on price. 

., this sounds like a really bad idea.

If I had 8 sub-100k listings and was having to fight with my seller on every one to get them closed without him messing them up, I may start ignoring people too...haha. 

Either way, you can hire a professional who can fight the tax increase (if egregious) on your behalf.

Jeff His problem is he already called the 99% not at his level Bad Names😁

Sometimes we just trade information: "That title isn't clear, I saw bad cracking on the back wall of the foundation of that place, FYI, that one was just postponed."
