I have been bidding on real estate auction for years and done well, here are some suggestions that may help you:Here are some things to consider when attending an auction - helpful hints.Preview properties with an auction associate if possible.Make a pre-auction offer(to avoid the competition).Ask for known details (zoning, tenancy, existing financing, code violations, taxes, comparable sale info/comps, will seller finance?)

Do you think it is lack of inventory or lack of reality of buyers thinking they are going to get giant discounts or equity whether they are purchasing a foreclosure and have to fix it up or buy from an owner occupant?  

Camera has to have date code in the photos and a few gigabytes of storage for the property files.

I didn't pay points/discount fees.

Comparatively, the BG's website is far superior.I have a random question.What type of property codes are deemed acceptable to turn in Day Care Facility?  

Currently on our site I'm the go to person for any excel/coding/macro jobs and have previously been an IT administrator.The purpose of this post is to gauge if there would be any interest in people hiring virtual assistants that aren't at a super low rate and if anyone has any advice or criticism for me.I would be very open to any other opportunities BP members suggest as well.Thanks for taking the time to read my post.PS: I wasn't 100% sure which sub forum to put this post in.

This property is within the family Do you agree that, once you take it on, while acknowledging their discount, their say in what you do with it thereafter, ceases forthwith?

Chris Mason, the primary adviser for a client's decision to put all their assets into an LLC is their attorney, not their CPA, and if my client, based on recommendations from his or her attorney, decides to structure his or her business in a certain way, I'm going to prepare their tax returns consistently with the tax code and in such a way that reflects the legal reality of their situation, not what a lender or any other service provider wants me to do.That being said, I think it would be wise for attorneys to understand the tax as well as lending ramifications of structuring a client's business in a certain way and should definitely connect with their client's CPA and lender before making recommendations.

The discount depends on yield buyer wants.  

I would assume the place is going to need a bit of work but don't shy away from that, dig in and see why it is discounted.
