As a junior lien holder, can I negotiate with the bank on senior lien to pay it off at a lower amount? Is this a possible strategy?

Sorry if this is not the correct forum for the question. My question is at the junior lien holder, can I negotiate with the first mortgage on the property to negotiate the payoff?

I want to list my multi family property for sale but I don't really want my tenants to know I'm selling it. Besides not putting a for sale sign in front of the property, what else can I do and put in the MLS in regards to showings, offers, inspections/walk throughs?

I'm getting my Broker license pretty soon. I don't plan on bringing in agents, just going to be myself. I work 100% from home under my current broker but I don't want to use my home address when I open my own real estate office. I couldn't find much on the rules when it comes to Brokers holding a physical address or PO Box.

Yep. Just for my personal info. I like statistics and I'm putting together a spreadsheet to keep track of a bunch of stuff. It just feels weird that I count it as a 2016 sale when all the hard work was in 2015.

I had two flips close in the first week of January. I purchased and rehabbed them in the last six months of 2015.

Any recommendations? I work with one out of Northern California but I am not too happy with their service lately.

If your CPA is telling you that you won't have to pay the CA fee's by filing your LLC in Colorado you need to get a new CPA. You will still have to pay the $800 every year.
What exactly is the benefit of foreign filing? I was considering doing an LLC in Nevada for my CA investments because I've been told the fees are much lower than in California, but there is no point if I still have to pay the $800 bucks annually.

Your permit is approved, you do the work. What happens if you don't follow up to do a final inspection?

What are your general thoughts on flipping condos? What hurdles did you have to jump besides the rehab process?
