New to Forum from TAMPA FL
Peace to all!
My main experience is being a real estate agent and mortgage originator. My main interest now to build a real estate investing business basically dealing with Short sales.
My name is John O'Keeffe from Tampa, FL. My email address is [EMAIL REMOVED].
I was born in New York and lived many years in St. Louis. My real estate experience started in Sept. 2001 at my real estate class in Florida.
We are in a tough time for our country and I hope that we can help get the real estate market turned around. I am afraid that we haven't seen the bottom yet in the banking industry. Someone must pay for all the financing losses. It appears that it will threaten the solvency of our Federal Government.
Best Regards to all!
