I will deal with the sales agents. 

Found a house with the tax deed up for sale.

Hi everybody, there is a duplex for sale in my area for 90k with an unfinished basement.

If land lording suits me, I will continue to acquire more properties and get into multi family.

Can you split the proceeds from a SF home sale into 2 down payments on properties of equal or greater value?

The appraiser found the hud tag on the i-beams when he did his inspection.This was never disclosed either before or after signing the purchase & sale agreement and nothing was said about it in the building inspection.So a few questions:1.  

It has lead to my first 2 deals and I currently have another short sale under contract for my 3rd this year.

The only issue I see here is if for some reason it doesn't pass the test post-rehab, I will then have wasted a considerable amount of money as the liability/ethical issues surrounding its rental or sale would be too great to assume.Any advice here is greatly appreciated!

Yes, I've acquired some initial funding, so now I'm in the process of learning how to evaluate a potential rental property and needed renovations.

It did exactly that, I took the Ultimate Beginners Guide and it put me in the right direction.The reason I put "Trainee" in my subject is because I bought into the systematic way of thinking so I have acquired quite a bit of debt, and none of it is a "good debt".
