I just realized an effective/realistic method to calculate cashflow and as well as knowing how expensive Hard Money is.

If he doesn't want to do this then I would just wait until his lease is up and if he doesn't clean it before he leaves take it from his security deposit.

If the items in the home, which have nothing to do with "liens" as mentioned above, are not secured the bank may find themselves in a stick situation.

Now I feel it is time to secure some $$ help.

:-)BAC - Bank of America - Very good dividends, promising bank nationwide, not much of Subprime lending/securities compared to other banks, good PE, stock price is about 1.5 times the book valueWM - Washington Mutual - Well, when everyone wants out of Financials thats the right time to get in.

You will certainly catch some section 8 by those methods.

I made the application and with it you have to give a security deposit equals to one month's rent $900.

Using the list you get (directly or indirectly) from the courthouse and sending direct mail is one method.

I have been fortunate enough to be able to save up a "decent" amount of money during this time, and I am looking to learn some other methods of investment that are a bit more tax friendly.

We saw how to fix it, where to buy materials, permits, security, listing, getting "Section 8" tenants (in some neighborhood) etc etc etc it was a ton of stuff.
