Patience played a huge part in my deal. 4 sellers had to approve of any sale price, and there one of the kids was really holding out.

You can only deduct the part of the PMI paid that applies to that tax year.https://www.irs.gov/faqs/sale-or-trade-of-business-depreciation-rentals/rental-expenses/rental-expenses-1

Will bank jump in just before the tax sale then?

The final sale price will be public record and being a real estate agent is highly competitive trade.

Yes, most sales come from follow ups sometimes after reaching out 7 times since their circumstances change over time.

When searching a property in my County tax assessors website the sold amount is $0 and the grantor field is blank. Can anyone tell me what this is?

I am constantly trying to learn from those who have been through several RE Cycles (the more the better!)

Hello bp community, Need a little advice, I recently put a offer in on a short sale in July on a property that was listed for 205k.

IE wholesaling but that takes money and major sales skills.. and a market that has a lot of excess inventory and rental inventory.. it really depends on where your living and working.. all the guru training materials say just about the same thing there is nothing brand new .. just the same methods or schemes repackaged and regurgitated to enduce those who want it all now and are willing to pay for fast track.think MLM..

I am currently working as an engineer and am excited to get started in real estate sales/investing.
