If you want to buy liens or are building a strategy that is not common speak with a professional in the state that really knows the rules.

If so was it a common activity or more of a one-off?

The specifics of each deal and what strategy the investor is utilizing would make a difference as to the importance of certain types of information.As you put it, for my business model equity is extremely important, and that fact probably influenced my eagerness to split hairs.

I make a very good living here and am not trying to become a real estate investor to get out of debt but am rather coming here with a fairly important amount of cash in the bank that I would like to invest in real estate.I would like to participate in your forum and start building a network because laws and possibilities in the US are very different from what I used to deal with in France and I would like to avoid the most common mistakes right from the start.If I can help with my knowledge of real estate in France or Cuisine tips, it will be my pleasure.

At the same time I sort of figured it would be common for an investor to buy a deal (discounted price).Any comments from anyone?

I would put posters at every store, or common intersection were people travel. craigslist. ect.

Other than the obvious, when dealing with a condo, the HOA is extremely important to investigate.

It's a common thing in the midwest.

I make $30.00 dollars an hour at my ft job, so paying this kid to work 3 days painting the basement and 2 hrs cutting the grass for $170 bucks just comes down to simple math and common sense.

If need be your friend needs to be prepared to go before a judge to protect the common assets.7.
