If you like education, preparation, and the hunt.......you are a REO - DIYer.

Our property taxes come out quarterly and when we close on a property the buyer refunds to the seller the taxes paid for the balance of the year.The lawyers normally calculate it for us, but I like to know in advance what these costs would be, as it would make preparing for a closing alot easier.Thank you

Vultures, get prepared.

I know i can make deals i am just nervous because i keep coming up with questions like these to try and be prepared for any kind of situation.

You could also get a Paralegal, which I did for one of my evictions to help with preparing all the docs, etc.

Do some research, and talk to your Title Insurance carrier before you prepare the deeds.  

Also if you are not prepared for these types of calls I highly recommend getting a property manager it might save you from having a heart attack.

Perhaps spend a portion of your earned-income money on a good partnership agreement you can use and be prepared to market yourself as the project manager to your new-found investment partner. 

If a lot of people work on a hard problem, someone will eventually sort out the tough aspects of it.Anybody whose job involves doing the same thing over and over had better be prepared to change jobs and learn new skills.  

If you are prepared and ready to buy a rental property I would consider doing so if the opportunity presents itself.
