In other words, spend a few days on this site reading all you can and I'd bet along with buying J's Book you'll learn a lot more about RE investing than you can learn from any guru, whether they want $1,200 or $25K!

I'll bet good money that there are more than a few similar listings on the MLS where financing would be more welcome, and there may also be seller financing opportunities that make good sense that are less risky than financing auctions.

Although they might sue you for it first and considering the ridiculous inventory they now have of 1300+ homes, mostly ones that aren't worth touching, even for $1 due to heavy damage and being in areas where the max possible value wouldn't cover the repairs needed, I bet they'll be doing more lawsuits and less foreclosure soon, who knows.

Your best bet is probably to find an older roofer as they are more likely to have experience with slate.

But, an office or sitting area may be the better bet.

Yeah I bet he is!

I'm pretty handy but have never done one before so getting one as close to the same size will probably be my best bet....

I would love to just buy 2-4unit properties with the money as down payments but i don't want to lock up his cash for the next 30 years which would require a cash out REFI and thats betting that enough renovations have been done to provide the money, i estimate on a 150k property it would take me about 10 years to pay him back his. 20% down payment at 10% interest (this being done using my cash flow ) this situation doesn't seem ideal to me...

I've temporally pulled 3 platform's investments from our site.

(AmendsArticle VII, Section 14(B))Here's the link to see them in their entirety: http://legis.la.gov/LegisDocs/election2014/amendme...My thoughts:3- It states 3 parishes, including EBR, already use an agent (online platform) so it shouldn't make a difference there, but it could change the smaller parishes' process, or not-- some may not make any changes. 10- This seems great, compared to how it currently reads.
