I've seen some BPO properties on CL and I googled it but don't understand it.  Can someone please help me with what BPO and 1/2 BPO means?

Thanks.

Post: How to do I find the true last sale number from auction property

So I found a property that was purchased at an auction.  And the sheriff deed registration shows the purchase price of $100.  Is this really the true sales price?  Probably not.  So how do I find out what the new owner actually paid?

I'd like to find out who bought a property and for how much.  I saw a deal where the last sale was for $100 on Trulia after some other prices of $110K, etc.  Is this public record?  And what's the best way to search?

Thanks.

I attended Brandon Turner's webinar the other night and he said go find a real estate agent...right away.  What kind of RE agent am I, a newbie, looking for?  How do I know a good one?

Thanks.

Hi Joseph - I'm new to BP and would like to come.  I can only commit to tentatively attending because my kids activities are constantly changing.

Can you tell me what if you would expect private investors to show up at this type of event?

Thanks.

I was approached by a guy from Fl on linkedin to try and set me up for the free 1 hour video.  Once I saw the prices, $20K for the full pkg, I was turned off.  Then I was even more turned off when they spoke about the affiliate program - sounded just like MLM scams that I got involved with in my early 20's.

Then I did some research and found BP.   All the negative reviews on BP struck a chord with me.  And the positive ones seemed canned, and more like people from that organization lurking on BP to try and mitigate any bad reviews.  With that said, I have recently watched Brandon Turner's webinar on making $5k per month in cash flow from real estate, got a whole bunch of great information, and some freebies too.  I'm on my way with BP, a wealth of information, and a fraction of the cost.  And nobody is emailing me and selling me on how great they are.

BTW,  when I told the first guy I wasn't interested because I have no risk capital and I'm not interested in MLM - he wrote back that no one ever has their own money and then in CAPs they are not MLM.  If it walks like a duck...

Happy Trails!!
