 NO. He works FULL TIME for me already.

You can find a VA through eLance

Trevor I have a great VA in the Philippines that I can recommend. I currently work with her but dont have enough to keep her on full time. Shes on oDesk not eLance but its the same difference.

I have difficulty finding office that meet the same interest as me. I want to hang my license and work with someone who can help me build my investment as investor. Also i want to keep my full time job. Can someone please help lead me to the right direction? I been talking to broker but none seem to be in my benefit. Please give me some recommendation.

Or maybe i'm not asking the right questions. I don't know. Please help! Feedback are much appreciated.  

I hung mine with a boutique shop in the area I specialize in (Union County). But I have also heard that KW is great for investors. I think it comes down to the relationship you build w your broker which like you said depends on asking the right questions up front. Here's a resource I used when I was setting up shop http://www.championsschool.com/industry-knowledge/questions-for-interviewing-a-sponsoring-broker.php

Hey BP family, after listening to a few wholesale podcast, I realized that to start out the gate as a successful wholesaler marketing is KING. But at the same time I'm see that I'm going need a marketing consultant to assist me mapping out an effective campaign. anyone recommendation ? Contacts ? Website ?

PS

-I will be focusing in the NJ and northern NY areas 

Donald I recently brought marketing in house for the very reasons you listed. If you're interested PM me your contact info we can set up a chat offline to discuss. Also Im in your market so I know the nuanced challenges especially well.

Yes, Exactly, @Gabe D.!  Are you going to that? I am trying to go tonight. (Is is a good meeting?). Thank you!

Yes this is the only one I attend regularly. And tonights educational component on taxes is a big one for me so definitely taking notes. If you decid to go PM me we can hook up and talk shop. And bring cards if you come they do a speed networking segment to kick off each meeting!

Jake Recz if you can check out NJRESN event tonight in Garwood at the Westwood. It's the only one I attend regularly lots of heavy hitters and beginners alike. If you wind up making it shoot me a PM we'll hook up. And congrats on making moves at such a young age I wish I had been that motivated when I was 24.

Hi @Donald Placide,

How was the meeting? I would love to come next time. I think there is another NJ event tonight also (will look for the info and post here).

Looking forward to connecting at one of the events!

I think the event youre thinking of is NJRESN at the Westwood in Garwood.

I have been attending a local sheriff sale for a few weeks now trying to make sense of what all is happening there but I really dont feel like Im making much headway.

Im hoping someone here familiar with the process can help me clarify a few things..

1. Why does the list I pull off the website immediately before I drive over to the auction never match the list the sheriff is using for the actual auction? Where can I get the actual list of what is up for auction each day?

2. Why are the Upsets listed online not the same as the ones the plaintiffs representative is using when bidding on behalf of the banks? Where do the upsets the plaintiffs representative is bidding with come from?

3. In some cases the sheriff has a property on their list that the plaintiffs representative does not. Why is that? How is it that even their lists dont agree?

3.A. In the case above there is a "No Response" entered into record. But in theory couldn't someone just bid the minimum and take that property?
