You don't have to "win" the deal it just has to work for you, let them think that they won if the deal still works, it will serve you well in the future.

Also, if you haven't discovered it yet, the Bigger Pockets podcast has over 200 episodes filled with ideas and inspiration!

I also have had them reject several of my winning bids.

That's a true win win.

Ive absolutely enjoyed this way of saving, and I hope that you find this helpful and that you discover the way that helps you to be excited to save more.

Though using the last year1) Wrote/bid for a property We had an interest in (18 With actual intent to win)2) Won for a property We had an interest in (6) So in reality I guess we are about 33%. 

When a property is sold at the Judicial sale is the the transfer tax based on the current assessment or the winning bid amount?

The worst thing about 203k loans is that sellers do not like them so you will not be able to win in a multiple offer situation unless the property needs repairs to be financed.  

No mortgage, No HML (unlikely to get loan for - or the interest would out kill the profit ), No flipping (see *3*)Bid size: most of winning bid is 40% - 75% property retails value.

I spent most of my life pursing a career in music until I was about 20, when I discovered how much I loved business.
