Everyone has cash, everyone can close quick, so you'll need to stand out in a different way.I was managing a project for a client with a half-burned-down house about a year ago.

I think it is very risky to invest most of the money into the property and then getting burn and loose it if you have a few financially bad/terrible months.I want to thank you very much for raising very important points and keeping me in check on those.

I've got burned in the past buying some books that ended up being mostly hype.

For that reason, there is not a lot of competition for Alabama tax sale properties, because people get burned, get scared, and exit the market.

Your house could have burned down!

I'm concerned about being burned on that last month, which is why I want to charge it.Would love some input from our local investors, and if anyone has a lawyer they want to recommend, I'm all ears as well!

Are they wood-burning or gas?

If your house isn't burning what is there to do? 

A lot of lenders like that idea because it gives the former owners some incentive to not "burn the business" when it changes hands. if they have $100,000 on the line, they are going to do everything they can to make sure it is successful for you.

Spending a grand or so now on a good attorney will probably more than pay for itself down the road when you get sued or a unit burns down.
