Then I will investigate remote RE investing.

These are different companies in different states, so I would think it's fairly standard practice to send homeowner the repair invoices, and it sounds like she needs to investigate further.

I ddnt know bout that special fee :) fun... will investigate as needed.see?

I posted the question and continued to investigate.

The first hill to climb is getting 7 to sign a sale contract, after that you can investigate exists as you'll probably add value just by cleaning up the title mess, guessing the seller has tried before and failed....maybe not.

If this building is your only interest you'll still need a basic understanding of RE, legal aspects and financing.SBA will take your first born, it's not cheap either getting in but you can get a higher LTV, better get with your lender and investigate that closely.

My husband and I are investigating REI, and we live south of Houston, near Manvel.  

I have looked at some hard money lenders and must really investigate moreto see if that is a good option or not.

It may be a company that is targeting us via Google AdWords OR it may be an advertiser that is retargeting you based on previous web visits.Can you send me an email with a screenshot or let me know the advertiser and we'll investigate?

I'm always on Trulia or Redfin investigating!
