Yes sir, very busy indeed. My main goal is finding buyers as the deals come quite frequantly here in Florida. I'm sorry, foreclosures daily doesn't do Minnesota yet. There are ways around the buying of the entire program and you can buy only the counties that you want.

When they answer the door, tell them you are there to help them with the pending problem with their house. 50% of the time they will tell you it's taken care of. Then respond with, great how did you take care of it? They will usually stall, then you need to gain their confidence by letting them know your services are available just in case. You will be surprised how often they will call you.

Let me ask you a question. Who is the most passionate person about your deal? The answer is probably you.

Amaris- I have a lead on on property in the Hollywood Hills. I didn't do much with it, I live In Orlando. What are you looking for? How much responsibility do you want? What are you exits? Email me, we should talk. I think we could possibly acquire for 50-55% of today's value.

CJ- This conversation started in another thread between Eric Foster and myself. I am considering negotiating other members deals because that seems to be the biggest hang up for investors. I still need some time to get my ducks in a row before I start doing them for others. Check back in a few weeks in the deal section under, " Do you need help with your shortsale?". As of now, I have only done them for my own deals, but it seems to be working. I am open to suggetions so I may be able to better serve anyone interested.

Tell us a little more about the service you are providing. If you don't mind start a new topic in the dealmaking area.Thanks.

Thanks. There are other things to consider.... what happens if the short is successful, but the discount isn't what the investor was hoping for? If the investor is doing the BPO, in my opinion, the most important part of the process... then who is responsible for the deal not coming in low enough. Could be a problem.

Eric- Where did you find these companies? I didn't realize they exist. I've always done my own, as we discussed the other day, there is definately a need. I was wondering what they charge; what if they don't succeed; who handles the BPO? Thanks for your input.
