Everything needs to be worked through the court, no dealing directly like preforeclosures. Either spend a lot of time learning about it and go in with the knowledge or find another way to generate leads.

The bad part is paying your mortgage in singles....


The first sentence is scary......I translate it as "If they had a pulse I got a commission check!"

I did a search and saw that article but didn't click it, I didn't think it was the one being discussed. I'll go read it now, thanks.

Anyone have a link to the article?

Who knows what will happen? Make an offer and see what happens. If you make 100 offers and get one deal every no is just one more no closer to that 100th offer that makes you a mint.

Hell I made 2 weird offers this week to lease purchase 2 different sets of rental houses and shockingly both seemed to be on board with the idea. Hell, who would guess this would work on commerical real estate deals but it sure as heck is looking good. One's practically in the bag with $0 out of pocket, the other I will probably have to come up with some good option money but it still can happen.

Ps- If anyone has any money to lend me let me know, I'll pay mid teens or some sort of profit split.

I'm just sick of realtors posting ads on Craigslist and forgetting to mention they are realtors. I reply to an ad then get hounded for weeks with tons of emails listing every house for sale in the state. I'm looking to go direct to the seller, I would appreciate if I could be told a realtor posted the ad. They should have to mention that by law, that would be nice.

Since someone mentioned.. just knock on the door and talk.

What kind of atire do you usually show up with?

Nice shirt and Jeans might look good but will show "Is he serious?"
Suit and Tie might be too formal and intimidating.


Decent shirt and a pair of khakis or something like that. No suit, you don't want to look like a person that is there to con them and you certainly don't want to look like a bill collector.

I find very few good deals on CL but they do exist. Same as the MLS, you have to hunt for the truly good deals. I just posted up an ad in the jobs -> real estate section for property locators @ $500 for each successful lead and got 3 emails in less that 24 hrs. That's working fine for me! Now hopefully they actually produce leads.
