No worry about that lien.I think what Adrien is referring to is an IRS lien as opposed to a property tax lien which is what I assume you are talking about.I get the sense you are new and don't know how to proceed regardless of the lien. so in simple termsEvaluate the property, how  much is it worth in it's current condition?

I think because you are new = nervous you might want to use people that are well known=Check referencesAlso try to not overthink every word in the transactionTrust that as you put your team together it will get smootherKeep your goals clear and simple as well and you will be less stressed Just some thoughtsMike

My usual analysis is a simple NOI, market trend graphs of the neighborhood in comparison to the overall market in the city, comps, and some other documents depending on the potential purchase. 

Again, that is a simple statement of fact.For RE investors, I feel that the dispassionate approach that my fellow Marines (and other veterans, to a lesser extent of course) naturally bring to the table is huge.

I'm sure other people will name other apps/programs that work perfectly fine, but I use truerent.com It's simple, allows record keeping, file uploads, and user access for property owners and tenants.

Over 12 years ago in a real estate training class to get licensed and go take the test the head broker and trainer told me this one simple thing.Take care of people and be genuine and the money will follow.From the beginning I have put helping people first.

Sounded simple and that was my original plan.

Simple way to do it. 1. find awesome deal2. get contract on it.3. close it with your cash or partners cash/ transnational funding.4. sell for a profit. 

Plain and simple. 

I really want to keep things as simple and cost effective as possible before going the route of talking to an ERISA attorney, but I appreciate your input.
