This doesn't concern me much as the purchase can be contingent upon inspection which can be done during the escrow process.  

At this moment I am looking into turn key real estate company to get started and to learn process as it goes.

The last 3 times I have gone to the foreclosure sales at the courthouse steps in Lee County, Alabama, we had observers from auction.com to see the process.  

This may not be feasible without more specifics on my taxes but perhaps a rough formula on how I could figure it out.My basic thought process with the math would be the following:For every extra $1.50 I make above $100k (but below $150k); I lose $0.75 I can write off.So here is where my knowledge really breaks down (if it hasn't already unbeknownst to me).So for every $0.75 I lose the ability to write off as a passive loss; will this cost me $0.75 or will it cost me $0.75 times my marginal tax bracket of 28%, which would be $0.75 x 0.28 = $0.21And if it cost me $0.21 per $0.75 and therefore $0.41 per $1.5, that would basically bring my OT down from 1.5x base pay to roughly 1.1x base pay?

I am in the process of looking at crowdfunding for the development side and they want to come in last and we are having to partner with a group that has a long time history in hotels and development so they can be comfortable.If this is your first it may be tough, not impossible but tough.  

It is typically about a 2 year process.

I'd love to help you through the process, from start to finish.

I'm now looking for a quality loan servicing company out here in the Bay Area, or anywhere for that matter, if they can help facilitate my payment process to the seller.

Do any of you guys have a easier process or can point me in the right direction on what yal do to analyze deals?

Will the CU take into account that I am in the process of renovating when they do either an appraisal/valuation?
