You might meet some guys at the auction who you can talk to.Good luck.Brian

so in listening to some of the pod casts...some of the guys talk about making dozens of offers weekly...how do you get the type of volume of viable houses to make that many offers?  

So it's about the least important number on the sheet. expenses grow by 2%/yearReasonable, considering the low inflation rate.property tax is 90% of the purchase price multiplied by a local tax rate (usually doubles tax from whatever seller pays)Probably a little aggressive here; talk to a local broker about what they usually see.

Talk to a good mortgage officer.

On the other hand, if you're looking to do a few flips per year (now we're talking two commissions and closings per home you purchase) it may be smart to get your license.  

I also believe that I have to look someone in the eye and talk person to person before I start to  take everything they say as Gospel.

working short sales takes talent, not for the untrained or the impatientI would talk to a 10+ yr vet of short sale negotiations with the major lenders.

a few comments:-i think property management in indy is typically 10%, but if you already have it lined up at 8%, then great-most people i talk to put vacancy at 10% as well-are you putting any additional money intoimprovements?

Hi @Alok Jain,How much equity are we talking here, as a %?

You'd need to talk to a lawyer about what you have to do, but there's always the possibility of a plaintiff piercing the corporate veil, depending on circumstances.
