lol I have just demonstrated the effects of beer taken in mass quantities

realtor.com realestate.com sometimes the county website will display comps... perhaps others here have a better resource..?

yea, I didn't think they would just go do it themselves right off the bat, I am very green to this.... so not sure how a seller would react to finding your source... is all... what would the going rate (per word) be anyhow?

gotta question? So a "Seller" goes to your site because he/she wants to sell.... he/she then clicks on your NakedInvestor links, starts reading a bit.... and is like.... hmmmmmmmmmmmmm I can do this, all I have to do is buy MCs manual and I am in business (thanks for the link buddy he/she thinks) Now I am sure not all will be like that.... but what are your thoughts???

That is Fantastic! It is great to see others doing deals, it builds my motivation and makes me more confident when I finally get out there. Thanks For Making Mega Bucks MegaBucks.

Thanks for the TIP Would you say that you could make a living just off craigslist using quick turn RE? It seems to be widely used around here. That is where I got my house from.

Yea, the clause helps in that aspect, though I still will have this heavy obligation, and it would eat at me... The "guru" that I got the quick turn course from says when you put a "Rent to Own" add, you are over floaded with TBs Well, I just wanted to see how the real world worked.... one thing I can forsee that is good about CAs, is your probably not going to be working with desperate/make or break deals where you are the only hope and the hope has to happen time now. Those deals would be more for Sub2s, and SLOs.

Hello, I was wandering how people are doing getting a TB once a deal is scored? I guess my worst fear of all this is actually getting a deal, (other than the one I recently got, because I am the TB). Do you guys ever have a problem finding a qualified TB? How long does it normally take you? How long do you tell the seller it will take? Is that time enough for "cushion". Thanks, once I get moved to the house next weekend, I want to start my wealth building campaign.

one thing that comes to mind when I think of working w/ a Realtor is, as Doug stated... If you are doing a CA, there won't be enough cash to go around, even if you pay him/her 2% now and have the seller give him/her the rest on the backend, that puts you in about at 1% or maybe less. The problem with a SLO is, the seller is selling at market value, there is no to little spread, and in these days with no appreciation.... well your back to only splitting the option money, and you still have all the risk with no backend profits. I think it to be best to stick with finding the seller myself...... UNLESS the market goes into another fast rate appreciation... then and only then would paying a Realtor his commission to enjoy big profits on the backend.

True MC, and things are as they are. Though they failed to teach me much of patience in school or home.

I havn't gotten and nast emails, my posts just get flagged. Though I am using my own verbage for I don't have the flow for the NI manual yet. Although, I have to say... I am moving into my first house on a LO due to a "I Buy Houses" on craigslist. I am hoping to score at least another deal on craigslist so that I can afford marketing... lame eh. yah.

Thanks guys, I look forward to hanging out here and learning from the pros At 28 and being duped by every get rich scam, I don't know why it took so long to find real estate as a solid and real vehicle to making honest money.

Jason, As someone who is just starting.... would you recommend concentrating efforts on CAs to start? I have no cash, just my job check and the will to do this. If this is the case... Where can I go to learn everything there is about CAs Thanks William

If she is just "not wanting a forclosure" she could sell the house "owner financed", she would more easily get a buyer w/ 10% down, plus 1st months Payment, which may be enough to get the note current....

First, find another title company. If they don't know what an option is, there really is no need to talk with them any further. They'll be of no use to you as an investor.Assigning your deal can be done in numerous ways. Factors include what all parties agree is the best way to close, what the attorneys/title company prefer, your profit in the deal, etc. Check out the two pinned threads at the top of this forum for some great insight into this very topic. Thanks for the help!
