Ok...well that makes more sense then.

How do rehabbers or buyers establish relationships with wholesalers?

The biggest suggestion I've seen on this site is to join your local REIA. Is that usually the best way?

Don't over complicate things.
Ask a local real estate colleague who the players are. Look on craigslist. Network.

Whatever it takes.

It does help Dan.
Thanks for your input!

Exactly!
Steve said what I wanted to say.
I just couldn't get my brain to function at the time.

Just my opinion, I'm not a big fan of the whole twitter like following thing. I'm just not.
I think the original colleague system was a bit more user friendly.

Does anyone have a good general sample postcard that they use to leave on trashed houses or houses on the foreclosure list?
If so, please provide your sample.

Thanks

Good stuff.
A lot more in depth than most e book reads.

Going to your local rei clubs is the best way to go Danny. You'll most likely find a couple at the meetings or other investors with reliable local hard money lenders.
As Will mentioned, the more relationships you build the higher your chances of success.

Thanks for the tips. I was wondering if you could lead me in the direction of more information about buying with no money down or without using your credit. How feasible is it to buy with no money down in this economy? Have you been able to do this recently? And how? Thanks!

It's not as easy as some gurus make it out to be, but buying with no money down is very much possible in this market.
Remember one thing, anything in real estate is negotiable. Whether the other party will accept your terms is a whole other matter.
You'll have more success in the no money down game if you find motivated/distressed sellers. Put together an offer and shoot. Just remember, buying with no money down doesn't make the deal a good deal. Always try to purchase at a good discount.

I'm gonna have to agree with Tim on this one. There's no need to make an issue of this. The tenant will most likely win this if you're forced to go to "landlord" court. Which at the end of the day will cost you much more than $150.
I'd suggest using Jon's appliance clause in the future.

I'll let you guys in on a little secret. Josh spends all of his free time creating fake accounts so it looks like a bunch of people are always logged on. It helps with his advertisers.

With over 500 people logged in and the same people posting all the time, you guys surely have figured it out by now.

LMAO! I knew it.
