Hello all,So I just started using propertyshark to gain more information on multi-family homes in my area. I came across a wierd situation a couple of times but none as drastic as this: a house is on sale for $145,000...

A cracked boiler tank is almost always a sign that it froze or ran out of water.

Yes, there are loan sharks out there in the alley. 

@brent coombs I use Property Shark to look for properties.

They had a very good event called a Shark Tank where investors like us got a chance to pitch our potential flips to financiers and other members of the group.

Process has been held up for about a week now for some paperwork from the town for the septic tank. 

Thanks for advice guys it's always helpful to see how others are doing things - are plan is to have 6 months mortgage in our "holding tank" then dispurse money accordingly.

I've been using realtors to see homes on the MLS, but i've heard people saying that:MLS listings aren't good deals, or there's too much competitionSheriff's sales are bad for the novice buyerPocket Sales/Exclusive sales are hard to findLocal connections...I've been to a local RE meeting, and all the wholesalers seemed like sharks, and you need to buy cash.I have enough money for a down payment, and IMMACULATE credit.
