I know the realtor on this deal, was just curious what made you take notice of it.

One thing I noticed also is that the HUD inventory has dried up.

I did not notice the age of the original post otherwise I would not have responded.

It takes about two weeks, 3 part time and then you're months ahead of reading forums and trying to figure stuff out on your own

just quick follow up dean. i noticed you are from CA. that is a tax deed state. there wont be any properties with tax liens. you will need to county your county tax collector or equivalent and get the tax role list or properties subject to tax sales. when you get the list market to those owners. in CA the properties go right to deeding. therefore, if a property does make it to the sale the owner is going to lose it.

Listing brokers are given advance notice of the listing to be assigned so market to their buyers ahead of time to try and close a deal.

You can then get some interested parties ready to view as soon as it becomes vacant.Another option is to have some people who can view the house next Saturday and set it ahead of time with your current tenants.

i was stuck on the clue that the pilot would stay on, and light easily, but also noticed that the water was not very hot: luke warm, which meant to me, the heating cycle was being turned off before it reached temperature.

I noticed with interest the buildings and construction and wondered about the opportunity for real estate investing.

The best way to do this is to write down ahead of time what you want, and don't move around.
