While I do most often work without any upfront charges, sometimes rewriting a poorly written business proposal takes more time.

Those of you on the fence as to making a decision to come or not, are you committed to being successful in RE?

Are there other things I should consider besides the APR and interest before making my decision?

Yes, I know they paid the money back, but if I run my business poorly, do you think they will give me a loan......nope.....what I do get to do is pay an effective tax rate of about 50%-60%.

Of course, I do not have a problem making a low offer on this if the numbers work - the listing is poorly done (they estimate the gross income as the same as the net income and then list the rents that they are actually receiving and those rents do not equal those "estimates") so I don't have any problem with "insulting" someone by giving a lowball offer provided it is backed up by numbers.Also, the plan would be long-term hold on this.

The closing attorney knows what the hold-up is, he's just not communicating it to you very well.I would have your agent ask the closing attorney what the specific issue is -- it's most likely either a title issue or the bank initiating the sale process without actually having the foreclosure deed yet -- and based on the specific information, you can make a more informed decision on how to proceed.But long story short, the closing attorney has the info...you just need to get it from him...

When the authorities finally made the decision and began issuing permits, these houses didn't comply either because the damage exceeded some % of value, the elevation of the structure, or the neighborhood where they were located.

Poor or no research before investing in Tax Liens or Deed certificates4.

In most cases, if you make quality decisions when you buy, your property will show taxable income on your schedule E even after depreciation.

Excuse the typos and poor grammer.
