My name is Kelly and I am from Central New York.

I don't doubt that the market can still grow, however lots of sellers are capitalizing on it now while mortgage rates are super low and inventory is even lower.Aside from the normal charges when selling (commissions/attorney/escrow/title fees as you mentioned) there are some others, major ones being transfer taxes which are: New York City Real Property Transfer Tax = 1% of purchase price if $500,000 or less and 1.425% if more than $500,000.New York State Transfer Tax = .4% of the purchase price Some buildings also have what's called a "flip tax" which is a pre-determined percentage of the purchase price that's paid at closing...each building is different in this case.

This is a money game and I do not care how many real estate of investment gurus out there tell you, say, or offer books on how to do this business without money or credit don't fall for it, You need money for this business as in any business and you need money to protect yourself.Can you find ways and times when you can get control of real estate without any of your own money or credit, possibly just like  it is possible for me to walk from San Francisco, California to New York City bare foot but think about it, would I really want to do that?

I currently live in New York City and would like to invest in Florida(Tallahassee), Some parts of Atlanta, and Michigan.

We contacted 311 and the New York City Department of Vital Statistics to inquire if homeowner is deceased but they will only provide information to family members, persons listed on the deed/insurance policies and Attorneys.

It usually takes several months if not years. ie I have a foreclosure in process in New York.

The husband of a distant relative of mine died suddenly some months ago and she is now the sole owner of their home located in a very nice area, just north of New York City, and worth around $875k.

Prices in New York are insane compared to the rest of the country.
