Hi Kathy, 

I grew up in The Berkshires and have been an agent for the last 3 years in this area and investing for the last 5. I'd be happy to chat with you about the area. Please feel free to PM me and I am sure I can answer all you questions.

Hi Vince, 

 Welcome to the site! I live and invest in the area. I am currently an agent and my main focus is fix/flips. Haven't got into multi-family homes yet, but I do plan on it in the near future. Feel free to reach out to me if you have any questions.

Hi Roland, 

 Welcome to the site and congrats on your first purchase! What part of the 413 do you focus on, Springfield area? I live/invest in Berkshire County. Let me know if you have any questions.

I tried dealing with them last year for a short sale for one of my clients. I had an offer signed and ready to go. Took me 3 months to actually get ahold of someone that could give me answers. I sent the offer in and waited and got no response for about a month. Continued to have the same trouble of getting ahold of someone that could help me. Finally I get in touch with someone that could give me answers and she tells me the property is going to auction tomorrow. My client never did get the property. It has been listed and sold since. But what an ordeal it was trying to work with them.

Joel Owens Thanks for all the info Joel! I'll definitely read up on it a bit more on agentsonline to see if it's something I would actually like to do.

Kevin Page thanks for the info. I was unaware that I cannot buy any of the properties. Could I buy it under an LLC.?

Mark Ferguson Thanks for the sites. I will check them out and your blog as well.

Karl Krentzel Great video Karl! Very informative, thanks!

Hey all, I was just wondering how all of you REO agents started out and got listing from asset managers. Since I invest in foreclosures and I'm an agent. I wanted to know what steps to take to potentially get listings down to road. Do I just sign up on all the REO sites? What extra could I be doing on equator.com? Any info is greatly appreciated. Thanks!

Congrats.  The article does bring up a disturbing thing though.  How does a couple making less than $51k buy a house for $230k?  That is just insane even with grants and gifts for the down payment.  Things like this are why people like us can get great deals on foreclosures.

 This is correct, we originally bought the house as a foreclosure.
