If you want to make decisions about property, go buy your own property and make those decisions.

Sometimes, there are multiple suggestions of bankruptcy in the dockets.I am new to buying foreclosed properties.

Hello All,I'm currently buying a home and at the home stretch.

In MA that is now commonplace to waive inspections which is mind-boggling in some of these older homes but it's working for buyers.I'd never advocate completely waiving on the buy side, just too risky for my blood but on the sell side its like Christmas morning to see a waived inspection.

Should I just rent and save my money for the next property that will cash flow, or buy in NOLA?

My girlfriend and I are interested in buying into the upper Michigan STR markets (Traverse City, Charlevoix, Petoskey, Bay Harbor, etc), hoping we can take advantage of the hot vacation rental market up there in the summers and the popular ski slopes for the winters. 

Nothing wrong with this - it could actually be a home run of a market, just make sure you are comfortable with your underwriting.I suggest buying data for your market on Pricelabs specifically ($10-20/ mo - worth it).

Investment Info:Single-family residence buy & hold investment.
