Hello to all -- decided to get involved here, as it is the first web site I have found on the subject of RE investment that appears to have experienced and knowledgeable investors who are willing to help others with their advice.

Charlene - We're glad that you decided to join up!

Now, if I decided to buy the option, I'm assuming they agreed on a price already and I would close with the owner if I thought it was a deal.

With the exchange rate becoming more favorable, I've decided to explore something I've long wanted to do - invest in real estate!

Tenant needs to do some raking and trimming outside, but that's it.I decided I (probably) won't be moving him out, and will either buy from my house, then move and sell this one.

Depending on the cost factor I can decide what to do now and what to do a bit later.Thanks for the tips.

I want to make sure this is well documented that it truly was abandoned because I don't want the risk of her deciding to turn around and sue me...but how do i prove that when the utilities are on and furnitures still there?

I decided to work for a investment banking firm right out of school and gradually start my investing business.

So, not having the money to pay for someone to handle it for me I decided to handle it myself with the help of an attorney friend.

REAs should either suck it up and decide they're going to SS on the lenders' terms or don't do them at all.Case in point: I negotiated a deep discount for an end buyer represented by REA.
