BEWARE of the Zillow scam which requires Agents to sign a term contract locking in their income and based on my experience provides the weakest stream to "potential buyers and sellers" requesting additional information about homes for sale.

She did an emergency injunction the morning of our foreclosure, saying that the guy I loaned the money to illegally used trust fund money that she had a right to to purchase the house, and I was a aware of it and party to the fraud.  

he must het some royalties from this company to use him in their scam.

After doing more research this is a scam.

That being said, I would hesitate to to build a portfolio of 20/40/80+ homes there if the property taxes are going to eat tens of thousands out of my bottom line relative to a better-suited state.

Out of the banks in my area I'm researching I found this one https://www.fremontbank.com/ I will add to to the top of my list for banks to call on Monday.

My basic question is how much risk and debt should we get in to, to build our portfolio with little money down?

Fortunately for me I didn’t pay the $2,000 price for the scam.

I can't remember all the details but I warned him its most likely one of those scams where they don't own the place. 

She can't afford to to buy a home, but my wife and I are in a better financial situation.
