Try to get things like vacants, fire houses, high weeds & grass, order to board, tax lein, etc.

We've seen a huge run up since the recession, but I think the Fed will be a big player in where our markets go.

It actually IS illegal in most places but the presence of this forum proves that enforcement is lacking.While I understand where you’re coming from, as I too am fed up with the endless mass texts, I think that we need to consider that in a limited set of circumstances, wholesalers do provide a valuable service to both sellers and buyers.  

For example - if you find a vacant lot in an area that is densely populated (with houses all around it), it may not be any coincidence that this one single lot hasn't been developed yet... because when a property has one or more of these pre-existing issues, you literally can't do anything on it (other than maybe grow grass).

I fed his cat, constantly changed the litter box because it smelled so bad and was embarrassed to have anyone over because the carpets were so badly stained.

I am thinking this is because the feds are going to take depreciation recapture on what I should have taken ($20,000) rather than what I did take ($8,830).  

An assumable fixed rate loan written at today's low rates would be worth a lot in the future if:you hold long enoughyou believe RE markets will continue to climb in valueAND that the Fed is bound to recant its current policies and begin efforts to control inflation (ie rising rates)

If someone needs to be spoon fed every piece of info, without doing some research themselves, it gets tiring.As to your question above: learning by doing is the best...pick up the phone and start calling, see how you do.

. :)  just being objective here. sometimes I think we all think the grass is greener.. but the grass in Orygun is pretty darn green if you take sometime to find the deals... :)

The problem is that if I take this out in cash, the Feds will withhold 20% of it for taxes right off the back and although I do not think NY state will withhold as well it still a substantial amount to lose.
