If you need to cough up cash in order to force cash-flow I would not proceed.Also, when calculating your annual gross income assume you are only collecting 11 months rent.  

You are forced into almost an instinctual natural selection where you view every deal, potential client, and real estate happening as a life or death situation.

Here is the website: http://www.justice.gov/dea/clan-lab/clan-lab.shtmlI suggest you go to the DEA or drug task force in your County and see if you can find out the levels of chemicals that were found in the house at the time of the drug bust.

(it is not one of the worst places to invest because they never adjusted the mileage rates - the taxes are some of the highest in the county, but the properties are some of the worst (just not soct effective when adding in the taxes to the equation) - it forced many ederly homeowners out and real estate investors in....true story....I'll be selling this property in the next year or so.So - long story short - no - assessed value and appraised value are not necessarily the same thing....

So now that the FED was left in a lurch forcing its hand now in a REACTIONARY role, Alan comes out as if he had nothing to do with it.

I am forcing myself to be patient.

I'm 21yrs old currently in the Air Force stationed in Tampa fl at this time.

We a full time attorney on it now, and have forced it to upper executive level approval three times, and each time it has been denied for no given reason.

It can be done, but it forces you to really scrutinize a property even harder, knowing the holding and borrowing costs will add up fast.You have already shown good discipline by accumulating some money of your own, so I would keep that up and try to find the best financing option outside of family.Best of luck!

Were you "backed into a corner" and basically forced to make it as a full-time wholesaler?
