Purchase price: $50,000 Cash invested: $30,000 First deal, had to pay seller's back taxes so she would not lose the home before I could purchase it.

For example, things like: how far behind (how much $) their tenant is behind on rent, likelihood the tenant would ever be able to catch up on their own (without assistance), whether the tenant is collectible should the landlord decide not to pursue assistance and go after a judgment in small claims court instead (some tenants are judgment-proof so the assistance may be a better option), ability of the landlord to weather the storm (do they have a lot of reserves or are they about to lose the property), willingness of the tenant to cooperate in the process (you need the tenant's cooperation for this to work), etc. 

I finally decided to go all in and get a coach to really figure this thing because it was like every where i went i would lose money or not get paid the money I was truly owed. it frustrated me to the point of just giving up all hope and never truly become what I was destined for.

I'm not losing anything if I get $800, but I'd have to pull back my construction budget some which I'd prefer not to do.  

What should my strategy be to find this - turnkey guys v/s individual contractor v/s 'doing on your own'. ( I am typical w2 employee.)3.What’s your take on house market collapse - as you must be aware - lot of people are losing jobs.

All of that takes time, effort, and potentially losing a tenant. 

Should you lose your job (or quit) the bank can't call your note.

This is definitely a hands on market meaning those who invest in multifamily from out of town tend to lose a lot of money, but not all.

Move to the suburbs and you get lower taxes, lower crime, and higher quality of life.If population continues to decline we'll lose our tax base and the politicians will need to raise taxes even more.

I recommend setting up keyword alerts for each area as they are discussed in the forums daily with advertisements posted in the BiggerPockets marketplace hourly.One thing to note when looking at the individual markets, you can make or lose money in any market.
