If you owned the site you could charge for the advertising.

I developed a database taht could easily handle this while in college. sadliy i lost the server i stored the code on due to disk failures.

but a standard sql database should be more then adiqute to handle such a task.

question is who would mantian that its content is standardisd.

you know i often wondered this myself.

I think a national MLS could be an invaluable tool for a REI.

it wouldnt take much to develop a nation system of this sort to be honest.

getting folks to use it might though.

they post every 30 days i believe.

thank you!

actually im learning that the more research i do i need to look to contact local agents anyways.

can some one tell me where I can search a national MLS listing?

we are forming a corporation and looking to purchase some property in diff markets but I would like to be able to search inventory nationally.

Does this exist?

I always thought this would be a good idea for me in the long run?

but now im hearing mixed reviews?

is this more prevalent when flipping property?

i WILL PRObably look for homes to put some "sweat equity" into and live in for a while and make some money then flip.

At some point my ultimate goal is to turn it into a full time career. I have been in sales part time for far to long. I feel like I have a nack for it.

NAME is familiar.

thanks for the compliments built from scratch. I currently run that companies sales/marketing part time. Or at least have just started.

I am hoping to take that part time income and use it to help me with my goals

hey thanks guys!

well my back ground is this.

about 5 years I purchases a condo, so i am no longer a first time buyer i guess. at that time i wanted to get into REI but was living with a big spender non thrifty person (now ex wife) we ended up selling the house due to financial reasons. Never late on that morgage. We soon divorced. I am now living with some one. We are both wanting our next purchase to be a Home.
I am currently cleaning up my credit from my divorce and running a business. (in addition to work i ran a small business which i shut down to try to save my marraige, which failed) lol

I have made a few wise investments recently. Flipping boats and cars the last 6 months. and plan to sell them to pretty much wipe the slate clean here in the next few months. I have seen my score go up recently. I hope to have A+ credit in the next 12-15 months. My fiances score is in the 750s.

I really like the idea of "sweat equity" as my good friend put it that i was out on the boat with saturday. He is doing the same thing. hopefully he will be joining this forum soon as well.

I admit i spent way to much time on the hobby forums and hobby type stuff and not enough time investing and learning about investing.

I have actually been here before as a diff user but i deleted the mail account so had to creat a new account. OOPS haha

anyways from nor cal bay area.

recently divorced single father. I have been working very hard to rebuild my credit ( I assumed all the dept from the divorce) and have made some investments since the money pit was filled in that hopefully will allow me to pay off everything - my student loans in the next few months.

question. My (soon to be fiance and I) are looking at homes in bay area. We want to buy a house togehter or will very soon. Im a lil intimidated about the price of homes in san jose. I want to get into home ownership again (sold condo before divorce)

I am trying to develop a plan we can stick to. We both want to start investing and building wealth Is buying the home together the first priority and going from there? or should we be looking at buying rental property or investment properites that we can purchase renovate resell on profit?
