Hello everyone. I'll be looking to buy a tax deed property in the very near future. Is there a easier way to find these properties other than the lists at the courthouse? Also I plan to do as one person mentioned above & pull equity out of it to renovate. I understand that I would need to do my due diligence and have a title search done, but is my idea possible? I really believe in the opportunities that tax deeds can bring. Good content guys & thanks in advance for your answers.

I have my home on the market & it's currently under contract. The issue is I didn't/don't really want to sale my home. I have about 14k worth of high interest debt that is killing me & my credit isn't the best. I have a very large amount of equity in my home. After trying to pull equity out to payoff these debts, I made the decision to sale (leaving about 50k on the table in equity). Well shortly after listing the house I was put in touch with a private lender that is willing to give me a loan.  Now I'm battling with the decision on if I should sell and walk away with a big check or stay in the house, do the loan with the private lender and refi later? Looking forward to you guys advice.

Hello everyone, I'm currently trying to find my niche in REI. I've been trying wholesaling, but I'm more intrigued with the rehabbing strategy.

Good luck guys!

I'm in the process of doing some groundwork to learn my market. I'm a new investor & I'm building a relationship with a successful investor that's in another state. His advice to me was to learn my market first! He told to try to gain MLS access from a realtor and find a realtor with a flipping background. How can I build rapport with a realtor to get this access? What other things can I do to learn my market?

Thanks in advance

Hello everyone,

What are some KEY factors to focus on or learn when it comes to a market that you want to invest in? I understand the importance of knowing your market. I'm a new investor that wants to fix & flip, so I decided to get some feedback from some more seasoned investors. 

Ok! Thanks guys for you responses. I went to a meetup earlier this month & I plan to keep going. As far as wholesaling, it's too many ropes for me personally. I want to one day be the buyer & go from there

Hello. I've learned a lot about wholesaling, but haven't done a deal! I believe real estate is a very powerful tool and I want to have my hands on it. I feel stuck because I would really like to rehab. I don't have the funds to go that route and most people I talk to say start off wholesaling so I can learn. Also that private lenders want you to have some type of track record before they lend. I'm not against wholesaling, but I only want to use it as a strategy. Am I being unreasonable with this logic?

Thank you @Roland Thomas
