I've done some sub-2 deals, free and clear seller financed deals, rehabs, quick flips, and just picked up 6 multi-family homes to hold.

Most agents that I have run into only took the minimum required classes on cnotracts, law and similar subjects.

Saw it on one of those CNBC infomercials, and stopped buy Best Buy and picked it up for $40, which pays for hardware, local number, and a year of service.I read some bad reviews on it but gave it a go, and so far has worked out really well for me.

I have taken intensive college classes on Tax & Legal strategies, using Self Directed Retirement plans to invest, Wholesaling, Short Sales, Tax Liens & Deeds, Rehabbing, Subject to existing financing, Seller Financed Notes, etc.

One top agent said if this spring doesn't pick up he knows a lot of people that are going to be in "big trouble".

I have been looking at some in a few states that I can pick up for pennies on the dollar most of them are priced under $100k.

I'm looking for general information on picking up tax foreclosure properties.

So there is no coming correction, TX hasn't kept up with inflation.It's tough to make a go of rentals in TX due to the crazy high property taxes and homeowner's insurance-the state does not regulate the insurance industry.I can take you to some nice, upper middle class neighborhoods in the Houston metro area, where houses are selling for the same price per square foot today that they were selling for in 2000-2001.

I wish they'd called me earlier.Next door neighbor cut a huge pine down and left all of the branches and tree trunk cut up on my property and his thinking the city would pick it up.

The higher class neighborhoods will start to see a substantial drop and more foreclosures start to hit the market.By the summer we will see commercial real estate drop in a huge way.That sounds pretty grim, but I still think there is money to be made and some super deals out there, just BE CAREFUL.
