This includes files that many of us use and contacts that are extremely valuable.

at the very least, you'll have access to the mls - a valuable tool to determine home value and doing comps.i'd recommend to definitely understand how to do the numbers and evaluate home value... even just as important, connect with other local investors - don't stop going to the rei meetings ... or at least continue to network with ppl in the industry so you can get more familiar w/the terminology and the goings on in your market.much luck to you and your wife!

I own two properties in Nevada but I would like to get into the multi-family homes.My goal on BP is to network, gain valuable information and hopefully find JV partners (who have funds to invest) and/or investors who are interested in Las Vegas, North Las Vegas and Henderson.Viktoria

If the lien exceeds that threshold (a few grand, IIRC) then the rest of the amount is in a very junior position.Certainly an entity like BofA that holds a (presumably) relatively large mortgage (relative to the size of the HOA lien) on a relatively valuable property is not going to just roll over and let you have to property.

This is a personal decision.Could you learn everything on your own that a mentor would teach you (assuming that you were to work with a really great mentor)?
