I know I need help and will be looking forward to networking with people who are familiar with this market.I'm originally from North Carolina, but have been living in Jersey and commuting to NYC when I signed as a model. I

It leaves you at having buyers that meet certain price points.For me, and this is just how my business model is...is that I have buyers with ROI/ARV price points and/or profit margins.I.e. for the wholesale side of my REI business, because I see you are a wholesaler -  my buyers want 40k- 50k profit in one part of the city, and 85k - 100k profit in the next... and That's PROFIT.You will find that dollars out way %'s any day!

Tom, y'all are in beast mode right now.

I'm hoping after getting into the landlord mode we can increase our occupancy and rates to break even within a year or two.  

Into a great investment mode that greatly complements buying pure rentals.I look forward to seeing you around the site!

If you get past the first year, you'll be in a refinance mode rather than that for a purchase money loan, avoiding the down payment issue.

The one thing we all agree about is investing in Real Estate beyond that we all widely differ based on our styles and modes of investing.

If the tax deed is not sold, then as certificate holder you can pay all the open liens that survive and get the property - but you do not automatically end up with the property just because you bought the tax certificate and the owner did not pay.One other point - most "seasoned" liens are sold to other investors at a discount from whatever the face amount plus interest is at the point of sale.

So I've been buying and holding rental property for the last 7 years now and have been in consolidation mode for awhile.  

Panic mode sets in and you figure you're never going to get another good deal again.
