Again, just depends on the details.Moving from Whidbey Island north of Seattle to Pensacola FL. 

So Connecticut might be out and a lot of Long Island too. 

At that time, the land was worthless, now it is a bit more valuable.There is land next to it that I also wish to purchase, it is also owned by the contracting company.I know how to push this land to auction but I feel I would get a better price/easier time buying from the owners instead.I know where to find the old president of the company.Is it a good idea/possible to try to purchase the land from him or should I just have it pushed to auction where I know others will bid against me?

Mala, 3k was on 2 family 500k house on staten island.

I'm looking to see if there is an experienced RE investor in Long Island that wouldn't mind sharing some of their expertise.

Like, I'm a realtor on Long Island, and I joined my local YPN (young professional network).

How does the auctioning process typically work (in Long Island NY- if able to be specific).

too late to hide assets they can claw back ... it will be obvious.. just sell them move to cash take the cash and jump on a plane to the islands open an off shore account.. ( make sure you pay UR IRS tax's ) that should work..

Then 3 years later, while you are in the Islands on vacation, the house burns down and you don’t call the fire department.
