I would not accept anything prepaid unless my property is rented by a public figure and they would have their reputation on the line or bad publicity. they need to pay monthly because I should be able to kick them out if needed.

Hello Everybody,I found a property that I would like to make an offer on but it seems that they are already under contract.The contract is public and is signed from March of 2014 (A Year and 9 months ago) yet the property still seems to be in the original owner name.My questions areIs it worth it to send a letter to this owner expressing interest in purchasing their property since the home did not close yet?

I would look at a 6%, you have a 60 year old multi unit on Susquehanna next to public housing, yeah, I want 12%.Cash on cash is a better metric just on the fact that you can also compare this to how the stock market is doing and other investment (non-real estate) will do. 

It sold 8 months ago and the buyer has done a little clean up of the overgrown yard, but work has appeared to be at a standstill for several months.The address for the owner in public record is the property address, and given that it's uninhabitable, seems unlikely.I need ideas for tracking this person down.  411.com, google, bing and white pages.com are no help.Any suggestions would be appreciated!

Two separate stories exist: first, the public must be wary of those groups that target the naive through a variety of false schemes.

HELLO EVERYONE:does any one have an idea what kind of information you can get from a city hall public records.we have a REO property in attorney review, we like to know like what kind of updates has been  done on this property, the banks don't talk.First time buyers. my lawyer says the bank don't do any disclosure,  is this righ?

One of the most common "common law" or equity remedies is public policy. 

We don't have the same rental cash flow but our appreciation and public demographics trump most states.

When I speak publicly about investing, I like to say, "99% of the licensees out there make the rest of us look bad."

Listed properties are being marketed to the public.
