Hello to All, It's Anthony from MN

Hello to All,

Just joined Bigger Pockets, but have been reading many posts, etc .for quite some time. WOW, Their is a lot of experienced people out here that are very giving with information of their knowledge, experience, and advice.

I am currently rehabbing in the Minneapolis, MN area.

We are purchasing REO's from the MLS, but have recently also added marketing to homeowners directly (which we have some under contract already). Seems like this route will be a lot more sustainable. Actually I have gotten a lot of great ideas from some experts on Bigger Pockets on who to market to & How to effectively market to these homeowners. THANKS A TON FOR THAT!

Also we want to increase our rehabbing projects significantly in 2013 by utilizing Private Money Lenders.

So Thanks to everyone , and am very excited to be a Bigger Pockets member. I am looking forward to an awesome 2013!

Jerry Puckett,

Thanks for the welcome. Land of the Ice and Snow lol, gotta love it. Starting this year we are going for year around. What a whirlwind of weather this year. 9 inches the last few days. Snowing right now, expecting 5 more inches tonight.

Joel Owens,

I hope that too. Looking forward to building relationships on here.

Jon Klaus,

Is that the numbers you were asking about, or you looking for more specific?

Dev Horn,

Thanks Dev for the advice. I have been researching quite a bit on here, and learning from Michael Quarles, and Sharon Vornholt. They are very inspiring and seem to know their stuff with the new arena (Non MLS) I am entering with mailing campaigns, mailing pieces, scripts,etc.
