At this point, I'm looking to become more involved with REI.

It's a cash deal so no financing involved.

I based my comments off the fact that you want to be involved in apartments and that you are just starting out.

But the question posed was how can we clean it up....I think.Well, follow the lead of the good ones, begin underwriting the deal, asses the real risks involved, employ tatics to reduce or eliminate identified risks, and assess the value truly given and charge fairly for the real risk assumed.

If getting involved with deals through L/O'S, sub2's and owner financing is something you would rather not do, try to network with people who do..

These are for the county foreclosure auction so there are no contracts involved, it's more like an expensive eBay auction, lol.By the way I highly recommend Dot Loop for managing contracts.

Since there is no Realtor involved, it would be great if you could go with her, but at least be on the phone when she gets there.

Over my long real estate career I have been involved in all three at one time or another, either as a principal or as an expert witness.The amount of money in dispute will determine as to whether or not it is economically viable to engage an appraiser, accountant or attorney on your behalf.

Jump in and get involved!
