I'm AL from Houston, passionate about real estate investing for just a short while.

I personally like it when there is a IRS lien scares the uninformed away and much less competition .. it also keeps those that MUST get a HML to pay off the cash they invested as quick as possible..

If it appears they have moved improperly, it might be a good idea to get the assistance of a lawyer.Unfortunately, you have learned the hard way the biggest weakness of condos and townhomes for investing: The HOA board can dismantle your investment returns with a simple vote.

I'm Deidre  from San Francisco, newly getting started into real estate investing.

It's a great way to learn the ropes and break into investing with lower risk. 

I am trying to leverage my home's equity to access investment funds but I've run into a road block.

We are going through a contentious divorce and I would like to buy her out, but apparently thats not very easy.If we sell the properties our gross earnings will be about 300k, while our net earnings will be around 150k, due to capital gains, depreciation taxes and realtor fees.My lawyer, who is not experienced in real estate investing, says I have to buy her out based on gross earnings, so I'd owe her 150k.
