@Matthew Paul  OREO agents we deal with are so MUCH better than a wholesaler you buying form the bank  title is OK.. they give you a shot at the deal.. and they KNOW basically what a deal is .Good OREO or investor agents most defiantly create a niche for themselves..

Ive been writing the lingo down as I go, but you gave me some new ones.I'm not a pro member yet, once I am i'll have all the calculators, but till then I figured if I can know how to analyze a deal without a calculator, Id have a better understanding of what to look for and basic understanding.

Even if that attorney isn't in real estate, if they have integrity they may be able to help you  find someone who is in real estate litigation, who's honest and who isn't afraid of court.   

There's basically a strategy we use sometimes to shove all the consumer debt into the name of the spouse with a day-job, which frees up the investor spouse's DTI for debt covered by cashflow.

Does the story make sense, and have you checked the local district court to verify if there's anything more?     

I don't know the details, but I believe a court made a ruling that scared the banks into it... could be wrong about the reason why.Yes I mean one that has passed through the court, the court issued a writ of execution and passed it on to the Sheriff office to sell at a court house step auction.

Two years has been mentioned in several forms by tax court but that two years has encompassed two full years, over two tax years and in two calendar years. 

If it's a small multi-family flip that you only need $200K for, or if the only people who will be investing are family and friends, deals along these lines.. syndication would be a terrible choice because of the resources it requires.However, if you want to take down an entire apartment complex, or a big office space, and require millions in capital for which you'll need to go outside of your inner circle, syndication is basically a necessity.So, you need to know all the nitty gritty about your deals before deciding how to structure it in terms of raising private equity.

It was a homeless guy and I nearly killed him when I was down there. luckily a harmless guy but I basically just put locks on everything that had an entrance or a door. but yeah...if theres complaints. just get rid of the one tenant

In my state the only way it can be disbursed is with a signed agreement agreeing to the release and distribution by all parties involved in the transaction, or by court order.
