I saw that as an opportunity to get a good deal if i showed they i was serious.The best part is some of the family still lived in the neighborhood and they came by the house after we finished and were amazed at what we did to their childhood home.

They are the owner and the party who is selling the property.

You'll see most of the things that need to be done.......you have to notice all parties that the clerk noticed in their tax deed auction procedure, mong other things

After that, I created an account with FutureAdvisor.com and put in my broker account information and filled out the questionnaire - like how long until you retire, what's your style (aggressive, moderate, conservative, etc.).

Digital signatures are accepted as legally binding so long as both parties know and intend to engage in business online.

I'm reasonably conservative so this may not be as much a concern for you.Hope this helps...All the best,Mark

Although I agree that 100% of your monthly lease payment is not applied to the purchase, both parties can negotiate to have some portion of the rent applied to the purchase, especially if the rentor will pay above market rates.

The best part is they learn how to interact with each other early.  

When that happens, a bunch of volatility is going to occur and if you are late to the party, things won't be fun.

I'm a newbie trying to train on analyzing deals and I've been using 50 percent, is that far too conservative?
