Can You Make Money Buying Foreclosures?
Posted on November 11, 2011 by
This is a delicate topic to write about. On one hand, as a real estate investor and teacher, I want folks interested in real estate investing to know what’s possible at foreclosure auctions. On the other hand, I’m concerned about looking like a pudknocker who’s profiting from someone’s misfortune. In the end, you get to decide whether I’m a teacher or a pudknocker.
Last week’s column was about how we prepare for a foreclosure auction. This week, we’ll look at whether there’s money to be made at foreclosure auctions by reviewing our last three deals. Read More→
Preparing for a Foreclosure Auction
Posted on November 11, 2011 by
Have you ever wondered how the foreclosure process works in Georgia? Kim and I started bidding at foreclosure auctions back in 1995. From then to now, we’ve bought a lot of foreclosure properties. More importantly, we’ve learned which properties NOT to buy!
In Georgia, the foreclosure auction is held on the first Tuesday of each month in front of each county’s courthouse. Georgia Code says the auction is to be held “before the courthouse doors.” Since there are usually steps leading up to the courthouse doors, we use the term “bidding on the steps.” Read More→
Landlords, Should You Hire a Property Manager?
Posted on November 11, 2011 by
A local real estate investor, who owns more than 20 single-family rental homes, came up to the ranch earlier today. We sat by the fire and discussed whether he should hire a property management company or continue managing his rentals himself.
He loves his rental properties. More precisely, he loves the mailbox money his rentals provide him and his family. Problem is, he’s in his fifties and is tired of managing the properties himself. He wants the freedom to come and go as he pleases.
For the record, this desire for freedom strikes many landlords as they enter their fifties and sixties. It also strikes folks who own rental property and get transferred to another state. What do they do – sell their rental, or keep it and let someone else manage it? Read More→
