Do you remember Dave Del-dotto, Tommy Vu and Carleton Sheets? What happened to those guys?

Hello BPers, I'm very new to this network and never even knew that such a powerful network existed. 

I first got interested in foreclosure real estate investing back in the 80s, when there was no internet. In fact the only way you knew about foreclosures was by going to the county clerk office and looking up the lis pendens records (In NY) or by subscribing to foreclosure magazines like Photo Foreclosures, where they would list the specs on a given pre-foreclosure. 

So I'm back interested in investing in foreclosures again and wish I had had followed my pursuit from back then....especially since I know first hand that you can be paid to leave an auction by someone who wants the same property that you do. I was offered 5k to leave an auction and like what many other 17 year olds would have done....I took the money and ran. lol

Thanks for reading

Vinny

Tom, sounds like a lead in to a program to me.

If you check federal prison records you may find your gurus, not sure about Sheets. Most of the well known ones have had "issues". :)
