Hey @Damica H. ,

Welcome to the family. 

I am from Atlanta as well and am part of Atlanta REIA. It's a great place to learn. In fact there is a 8 hour class tomorrow by Robyn Thompson there tomorrow.

Hey @Josh Butler ! Welcome to the family.

@Reginald S.

I LOLed when I saw your post as I was told the same exact thing by a well established real estate attorney recently.

On the bright side, I see more and more law firm booths at my local REIA :)

Hi @Joshua Dorkin

First off, tip of the hat to Brandon and yourself for all that you guys do.

Further details about the deal:

• The property has a tax lien against it and was to be sold on the County court house steps today(06/03/2014). This was why the seller was so motivated to sell.
• The property itself will need $15k-$20k of renovation before it is inhabitable.
• Although the ARV was ~$120k and we could have marketed the property for as high as $40k - $50k ((ARV X 0.65)-repairs) , we didn't have the luxury of waiting around for the right buyer and decided to go with a lower price, especially given that we were able to get it under contract for $2,500
• From initial contract to closing at the attorney, 7 days total.

Thanks @Sarah S. & @Aaron Mazzrillo

Special thank you to my mentor who guided my through this.

@Johnette B. A cheap(usually free) route is to look for the legal section in your local news paper. Here in the state of Georgia, there is a website called www.georgiapublicnotice.com that one can find public notices from pretty much every county. See if there is something similar for

Question @Rick H. . Is waiting for legal notices in the newspaper too slow, IE are there ways to get to the notices prior to getting published in the newspaper?

Thank you,

Luther

Good post @Angie B.

@Kyle Hipp & @Account Closed , what does taking someone to small claims court cost? I understand it is different from county to county, but I was hoping I could get a ballpark.

Thank you,

Thanks @Rick H. :-)

Having diligently read a number of your other posts, you always provide the well needed kick in the pants.

Would you agree for a new investor who just spent $500 on a mailing... this is the start of a campaign?
