They drink, and the more they drink the louder they get.

Im hoping all the like minded investors on here can weigh in?

Keep in mind, not all Brokerages have the need to do REO sales, but I can put you in touch with some contacts I have here in Monmouth County if you're interested (not your ideal location, but might be worth the connection). 

Start with your goals in mind and work in reverse from there. 

The first issue that comes to mind is the shared back area and access to the water.

I will definitely look into that... would you mind sharing your deals and succes doing this type of investing, I am available thru phone, e-mail and live pretty close to burbank we could even go for a cafe at porto's !!!

Keep in mind that if you wanted to sell you only need to pay CGT on the difference between what the house was valued upon death and the sale price!

There are some great meetups in your area; the BWI meetup comes to mind (it's one of the largest in the country) as well as Greg Bennett's meetup at the Greenbelt Marriott and Andre Johnson's Deals Meetup at National Harbor. 

Then we setup other investment and savings vehicles like Roth IRAs and an HSA.  30% of our take home pay was being set aside.Then we read the @Scott Trench book Set For Life and a similar article he wrote (The Simple "Secret") about capital preservation, and it blew our minds. 

So with that mentality in mind, this person may be willing to steal tools or materials from Lowe's, but would never dream of stealing from you.
