The banks price them high enough to recover costs involved in the foreclosure every time. 

There are quite a few inspections involved in the rental process, and all of those take time. 

Tell her that and do not get involved.

A good Realtor should be able to respond quickly and be attentive to your requests (of course as long as they are reasonable).That being said, there are certainly softwares out there that can spit out CSV files of all sales in a given area and what they sold for.

I think that should be ok if the parties involved are used to foreign transactions. 

Hello everyone, I am a fairly newly licensed MA Realtor and am about to purchase my first multi-family property in Western Massachusetts.I’ve done some flips in the past that I’ve lived in and resold years later, but this will be my first multi family property to rent out, and I’ll be buying it cash.Without it being financed, I have some additional concerns over keeping things anonymous and ensuring that an LLC is set up properly for protection.A local real estate attorney has quoted me $1,000 to establish an LLC, in addition to the MA filing fee.

Ther eis no reason for him to give it up prior to you filing for eviction.

Misleading numbers are a waste of time for everyone involved.

He finds heirs usually are out of state, far away, and often uninterested to take over, so often, he buys at a good price.Now, this is a long game, your involved with the property for long periods, unlike a flip, where you come in, you find a buyer, you're gone.

I have been involved with self directed accounts in a number of ways.
