I am looking to buy investment properties in WNY and finding it hard as a non resident alien to source a mortgage for several reasons:1 The amount I want to borrow at any one time is only around $30K-$50K - ie to a lender, not really enough to justify the extra exposure to a foreigner.2.

then you've got to hold it together, don't spend too much, stick to a game plan and BAM - i think this is a GREAT way to go about investing in real estate...i didn't mean to sound too harsh, but sometimes you've got to drive home a point - GAURD your hard-earned money.

Ok...so I saw this ad in Craigslist yesterday:[i]Invest your CREDIT and make 30k- - No $ Req'd RE If your looking for a great investment, and you have a 700 Fico or above you can work directly with builders and earn 30k min a few months.

You will earn the expected return on the tax lien but you will not get the property.Many tax lien certificate (TLC) buyers are in the business for the yield.

Well, here are some of the pro/cons of PreFormat.Pros:Developed quicklyNo extra effort by youCons: Looks like everyone elsesHard to distinguish in search rankings from other pre-formatsMust follow their formatDoesn't follow your brand as well as a custom siteHosting is more expensive typicallyHope that helps in some way.

This is how they're able to earn listing referral fees from REO brokerages such as mine.

Otherwise you're paying extra for what could be done more easily directly with the brokerage company.But, this is really a different thing than setting up these checkbook control companies.

Once you hit that you go commercial and face all the extra costs and higher interest rate that you are now trying to avoid.

and i don't regret it at all. sure it's nice to have made a great profit on my first transaction but i viewed the situation as:1) i can continue to rent...2) ...or own a property paying the same amount of rent and expenses while gaining experience.in both instances my cash flow (i'm going to include the income from my job) would have stayed relatively the same---granted i pay about 200 more due to taxes and insurance. but 200 extra a month was not as important to me as it might be for some one else who has a tighter budget. but since i made the leap definitely feel more confident navigating the entire process over again and also learned how to do some rehabbing on my own (tiling, staining, flooring, light plumbing..etc...)I also now have realistic timelines as to when certain jobs can be completed----at one time i thought I could gut and fix my kitchen and two bathrooms by myself in under 2 weeks only working weekends.

We keep the late fees (which covers the sometimes excessive extra time spent sending notices, knocking on doors, following up and chasing the money up to the point of initiating an eviction); evictions once turned over to the attorney are billed same as other vendors.
