However I agree with the Motion for summary judgment surrounding the QUIET TITLE action affirmed its likely NOT a collectable debt and YES we are getting a more firm legal opinion on that... 

You’re already way ahead of the curve with tax and construction experience — that’s a powerful foundation to bring into real estate.I’m based in Chattanooga, TN, so not in Boston, but I just want to affirm the way you’re putting yourself out there to serve first.

Had to use 4 different calculators, re-enter the same data each time, and manually compare results in a spreadsheet.My workflow:BiggerPockets calculator for conventionalFHA.com calculator for FHA loansRandom DSCR lender site for non-QMExcel to compare everything side-by-sideRip my hair out...I'm curious how everyone else handles this.

Affirmation?

I thoroughly enjoyed the whole process, even though at times I wanted to tear my hair out :) . 

We choose to use the Affirm payment plan because we did not want to pay the wholesale fee upfront.

Debating one over the other is splitting hairs, if you ask me.

To further analyze, we would first have to know if there was a will, who the property was left to in the will, and if the will was found to be valid in probate.If no will, we would need to know the state the property was located in, the state the deceased resided in, the relationship of the seller to the deceased, and any other relatives living at the time of the deceased death, and if they are now deceased their heirs.It may turn out to be simple (court affirmation of transfer), or very complicated (court rejection of transfer).

The affirmation is super helpful from a direction and planning stand point! 

Now, if you run a title report and there is a lot of "hair" (liens, etc) on the deal, you wait until the auction because an auction will clear up a lot of the liens.Buying at auctin is a little more complex than most people think.
