This site is a great wealth of knowledge, just have to sift through it to find what works for you is what I have found.

At a minimum, any property up for tax sale should be run through a site like geotracker  before it goes to sale:https://geotracker.waterboards.ca.gov/

If you are trying to buy HUD foreclosures there is a site called HUDhomestore.com.

Eric Kyle welcome to the site!

Starting on the siding and roofing and all the finishing touches, we can’t wait to be done and start our next house which is vacant and demo begins in 3 weeks (follow to see updates) What I’m getting at is, the flipping world is not for the weak, you will get beat down, you will fail but in the end once you finally achieve your goals and jump those hurdles you’ll be sitting in a heating house looking at your accomplishments and realize everything you’ve worked so hard for this past few months is now a reality and it’s time to enjoy it!

I have a couple parks in Longview I've been working on trying to buyover the years, failed deals in Kilgore, several failed deals in the metroplex, successfully closed a couple assignment deals in the metroplex.

If you're lucky you may be able to get through permitting in 8 months, but that is not accounting for the time to takes the architect and engineers to do the drawings and design the building, and the city of Denver has a Site Development Plan submittal as well as a permitting submittal.

That's all about me, I feel like I know a lot of the active members on the site reading your responses and posts, but nice to let you know a little about myself!
