My long-term goal is to be able to retire by 60; so I will need to obtain 20 properties that have great cash-flow.I am looking forward to learning and sharing.

hello my name is mike Iam a novice at real estate investing however I want to obtain this property but need funding to rehab and get the taxes paid up the story is as follows, I found a very run down property in my neighborhood the owner owns the property with no mortgage, however he is in jail and owes approximately 55,000 in back taxes the property has been abandon since 2007 and left to the elements the owner only wants 10,000 for the property after its sold and rehabbed, I have terrible credit and no money to put into this home only what the property is worth and at this point with it being so rundown I don't know what that would be, hehe's willing to quit claim it to me for nothing at this point, until its rehabilitated like i stated before but I only have till July 17 to pay the 2009 taxes that were sold or the whole deal goes away I have been wrecking my brain on how to get this done with nothing but my ambition however I've come short of creative ways to do this I want the property as an investment and wholesaling it doesn't seem to be viable because the taxes are so delinquent can someome please help me

The system here understands that we work very hard to obtain these properties and that putting it in somebody’s control is, their responsibility to take care of it.

I am currently studying to obtain my RE license and I also am a Home Stager.

I know that NJ is not the best market to invest in, but it's the only market I know :(I'm most concerned with obtaining the financing and down payment for that first property. 

However, it could cost you thousands of dollars for info that you can obtain here on BP and You Tube.

The guy i want to kick out pays 625 on a 1 bed that is running 875-1K in my market.The good thing is that i factored all this in and can afford to pay for the building indefinitely if i have no tenants (great w2 job) so i have leeway if they leave and can take the time to get a quality tenant (even though its not ideal for cashflow if they do because i want to buy more property).

I got into RE back in 2006 when I obtained my RE sales license but I never really utilized it due to the lack of training, cold feet and the market crash.

Un-redeemed Liens: After two years, a lien holder can begin proceedings in Superior Court to foreclose on the certificate in an effort to obtain title/possession of the property.

Are you obtaining mortgages on these properties or paying cash, commercial loans, private money?
