I need to do more homework on the auction homes, i have some cash that i think i could pay cash at auction for a house in my area, but when i go to the sites and see all the data they list, i am unsure of all the troubles i could get into, how to protect myself during the buying process along with what happens to these debt numbers they list on the propertys.

I kept the house beyond tidy, which without a doubt is a challenge with 3 kids.

Mom and Dad got tired (and old) and have given this project to us 4 kids to continue the fight.

I know there must be dozens more that can be made.I must admit that i have a lot of homework and due diligence to do in my backyard.

Strange thing is they had paid Sept with the late fee.But they & all 3 kids still had their iPhones .....

NOt sure I have ever had a male... all ours have been female with kids.

THEY DON"T WORK...these "investors" act like they are kids and do not know what they get themselves involved in.

I would not expect that you can go much faster if you want to do the homework prior to making an offer.

I have 10 children, and no debt with that many kids would be considered "wealth" by many--certainly by me.The original subject of this post was:The idea is to use a HELOC to prepay your first mortgage by timing additional payments.

Some of you might be thinking, "this kid isn't even 18 yet and he thinks he has what it takes to get into real estate investing.. idiot," (I figure this may be the case because of a post I saw an 18 year old make months ago).
