If you still have the stomach for it, you could participate in the deal as a private lender as well, or just walk.

I see that there are some good reasons for hiring Realtors, and that there are some institutional reasons, reminding me of the unions of old perhaps - helpful, corrupt, etc.

Hi Jason, I have heard that the Renegade Detroit Investors and the Michigan Real Estate Investors are both great groups to participate in.

Love all the Idahoans participating on BP lately!

Banks & CUs are not in the business of owning property.Of course that is not to say that a financial institution wouldn't exercise their option to call the loan due.This is my personal opinion and not legal or financial advice.

The owner wished to stay as an active participant and there was concern over the control.

I would love to participate in any real estate meetup group in Chicago.

If you and your father still want to pool resources to invest in rental property, then go ahead without your mom's participation.

Thanks for coming to the community and participating.

At the moment I do not have the capital to invest in tax liens but I also know that there are institutional investors and private investors that hire people to bid on properties for them.
