My favorite uncle--Uncle Sam Many sellers mistakenly think they need to pull all of the equity out of the sale of their property.

oh wait a minute, i was having flashbacks to my favorite show on TV (the only show i actually watch).

I was reading an older book (2000) by Dallow where he states that in foreclosure auctions in NY, the buyer has to pay the homeowner $10,000.

Type "tax liens" on Amazon to get some good reference books.

I am not speaking because I read some book or took some guru's course and maybe one day I will buy a house or two.

can someone suggest ( i mean serisouly suggest ) a good book on commercial property that was written recently and will be very helpful for the first timer?

I would say get it under contract with a contingency to leave upon your inspection Look at the guys books, figure out your financing to see what you'd be paying for mortgage, taxes, maintenance, etc. etc..

But that is not really an excuse at all...Bookstores sell books, and books contain information.

(Frankly, my ex made a fortune, so I've seen up close and personal--it CAN be done.)Wondering if some of you from MA might recommend your favorite real estate investment associations?

There are quite a few guide books that contractors and builders use that you can buy yourself.
