You can make good money off that deal if you already have a buyer lined up. Otherwise I would stay away from it if the park owner will not give you a major rent discount or give you free rent until it sells and during any time the unit may go vacant and you are trying to sell it again.

I hear you Don. I never cared before about search engine optimizing my Real Estate websites. I only drove traffic to them from online classifieds and my direct marketing campaigns.

But now that I know what to do to drive traffic to my sites, I am working on it now.

Unfortunately SEO isn't an over night thing. It is a game that requires much patience.

So I'm getting laid off from my day job starting Sept. 1. The office I work in is closing so 62 of us are getting terminated.

My wife and will be able to survive on the decreased income that I will be receiving from state unemployment; but just barely so.

I want to really ramp up my wholesaling efforts. I am also a beginner Internet affiliate marketer (haven't seen any income role in yet, but doing SEO for you sites takes a while). So taking into consideration I will be staying home with my newborn son and that my income is decreasing; my question is, what exactly would you do with your time if you were in my shoes.

edit: I am currently working on a very promising SFR wholesale deal and I currently have a mobile home under contract. Looks like the mobile will sell on Monday or Tuesday for $6000 more than what I have it under contract for.

Rob. That is exactly what happened to me!

Minna,

My wife was almost 1 week over due... The ultra sounds said Miles was going to be over 10 lbs... but then he came out at 7 lbs 15 oz.

My beautiful and healthy son Miles Thomas Guthrie was born on June 14 at 8:36PM.

My wife labored naturally all day. She then tried pushing for 3.5 hours but he wouldn't come out. He was lodged in there. We ended up having a C-Section. Turns out he was turned sideways and probably would never have made it out on his own.

He weighed 7lbs 15oz
21.5" long

He has been sleeping very well, and breastfeeding great. I don't want to jinx it, but I think we've gotten a very cooperative and non-fussy baby. I just melt every time I look at him. Like I have read so many other daddies say before, you just don't know how it feels until it happens to you. It is the best thing that has every happened to me.

On another note, in the middle of my wife laboring, I found out I am getting laid off near the end of August. Not the thing a father who is coaching his wife through natural child birth needs to hear. But we'll be alright. Life and God provides and I know we'll make it through this period.

Welcome Thomas... Sit back, relax, and welcome to your home away from home. I am on the site everyday. I post when I know I can contribute something that is I know if factual and meaningful.

Besides being online, you should seek out local REIA (Real Estate Investment Association) groups.

My wife came up with a pretty great idea. She found a package of 7 refrigerator magnets with each day of the week embossed on the front of them.

I'll include a note that says something cheesy like "I'm here to help you 7 days a week."

My only con is that I haven't really gotten any leads from my window vinyl... I mean it only takes one deal to make the vinyl worth it, but i have had it on my truck for almost 2 years and have yet to get a solid lead from it.

And you cannot see out of the windows if it is raining... The water fills in the little holes.

I have a great lead I am trying to work right now. Free and clear property. I think I need something more than just a standard hand written thank you card thanking them for spending the time to speak with me. I was thinking a box of chocolates or something, but I kinda don't want to send a sweet/food item just in case the person is diabetic or something.

Anybody got any ideas?
