so basicly u are saying that someone teaches ya how to screw the bank so to speak?

go to zillow.com they have good comps but dont depend on the zestimates they give u on properties.

So would u say the purpose of doing so is to make sure that no one area of the town gets overly populated??

If u don't have months to wait for it to work out, then dont buy a short sale property...that is really all i can say.

I got u.. thanks for this great explanation and insight esp. about the cash on cash return, that makes a lot of sense.

So one pre foreclosure deal can land u in jail for THREE years and run u 3K or 30K ( i really can remember if its 1 or 10k per violation.the thing is with foreclosures is when u take somes home in foreclosure are you going to let them stay?

Although u or someone u know can do the work U must have a licensed plumber, electrician and HVAC guy.

Maybe we need a Web MD type site for real estate contracts  :)  but U being in the medical field probably know that people can drive themselves crazy putting their symptoms into web MD..

I'd recommend u team up with another flipper to learn before u jump into this business.
