The House has been on the auction for a while. we actually drove 500 miles to look at it and was a great house. it is one of those Hubzu Auctions so i know it will be alot of watching and not bidding and bidding etc..I asked the agent if she had any idea why it had not sold. she thinks its been vacant for a while. public records show it was foreclosed on in august. but she thinks it was vacant for a while before that. and it has been on the market before the foreclosure at around 255,000.

There is a foreclosed property I've been watching that is owned by "Secretary of Veterans Affairs".  

What I might need to ask when I go back, or watch our for? 

They don't want to lose money or watch you lose money, so explain how your market works and is operating and I'd bet they'd work with you.

Thanks in advance for the help,Alden SimpsonGreenville, SCHey Alden,I'm actually trying to accomplish this myself with my Podio Direct Mail Campaign Manager (you can go to my blog and watch my tutorials on how to set it up yourself).  

hi there,i'm wanting to get into more of a long game scenario w buy&holds, but keep hearing that wholesales, flips, etc. are a great way to generate some quick (or quicker) profit that can then be used to help to fund the b&h strategy. i don't know the beginnings, however, of what to look for/watch out for in relation to that sort of strategy. this was just sent to me by zillow because it's in the area i've been looking: http://www.zillow.com/homes/for_sale/fsba,fsbo,for...it's a super solid area with incredibly high demand. this could end up being a buy & hold, actually, since it fits a lot of the things we've been looking for and is in the area we'd prefer no less.i guess my question is simply this: how do i best assess this in terms of it being an REO?

The Ultimate Beginner's Guide is now course that you can now watch.

new to the site after watching a very informative blog where the individual discussed the aspects he LEAST enjoyed about being a landlord.

Just watched this show with my wife last night.

I just don't want this under the fridge potential mold to hold the lease back from being completed.I am the handyman but I do have local friends who watch over the property and could stop in to take a look but, again, is that worth the favor or can I use this as an opportunity to educate/"train" the tenants???
