If the investor acquires any of the other liens on the property--such as subordinate mortgages or judgment liens--at a discount, then the redeeming party must also pay the full face amount of those liens in order to redeem.Alabama law is very clear, it is the value of the improvements, not the cost.

Tremendous.

I was purchasing at discount (discount from appraised value), it had a significant value add, and was in a market that neighborhoodscout shows 10/10 for this century. 

As a note investor, we rarely if ever originate loans for owner occupied, we would rather buy on secondary market at a discount. 

makes about as much sense as me standing in McDonalds drive thru blocking traffic demanding everyone stop buying burgers so I can force McDonalds to discount burgers 20% due to lack of buyers....All these people howling there needs to be more rental units so rents are cheaper. 

You get what you put in. eXp has tremendous training both video and live daily.

As others have mentioned, your connection to Memphis will be a tremendous asset in your investment journey.

We've seen tremendous interest from investors seeking larger balance investment property HELOC's or home equity lines of credit. 

I am not discounting appreciation but my goal for now is cash flow. 

My guys were also able to remedy the basement wall that looked like it was going to cave in when I bought it for a discount How did you finance this deal?
