I'm a newbie so I hope the veterans can help you out!

This would be my first crack at tax certs, and I had a few quick questions for the veterans here.My criteria will be as follows:- Type of property: SFR- Location: beach side communities I am familiar with- Improvements representing at least 75% of the total valueI plan to do my research and make sure that the properties I bid on have a high probability of being redeemed, since I would prefer not having to go through the foreclosure process down the road.

I have a few choice words about the crappy "investor to agent relationship" ideas currently being pushed around here and in the industry in general, but while I'm no 50 yr real estate veteran, I can say that these resources will give the new and experienced agent a better structure to achieve a healthy investor based business. 

Hello to all the friendly real estate professionals, new and veterans alike.

I feel way in over my head but I am very appreciative of the seasoned veterans on here that are helping out!

Just know that this forum is not only read locally, but somewhere in the Middle East is regular learning from the seasoned veterans of this forum!

Just document agreement carefully and photograph condition of home well.Set the sales price at something giving you a decent but fair profit on the home.They can pull the trigger and buy the home anytime by paying you the balance owed or financing the difference.This is a win-win-win.

I am a member of the San Antonio, Real Estate Association in SATX, and still involve with veterans as life member of the Association of the US Army and Military Officers Association of America.My goal here is to learn and expand my networks. 

Unless you or your agent are professional photographers, don't do the photos yourself.

Two thoughts...I posted an ad in CraigsList looking for military veterans who would work hourly, or were unemployed and in need of work.
