What's an ICO?

ICOs (“Initial Coin Offerings” or “Token Crowdsales”) is a fundraising mechanism for crypto projects. More specifically, they are events where cryptocurrency projects sell their tokens to early adopters in exchange for money.

What's Status?

Status is an open source messaging platform and mobile browser to interact with decentralized applications that run on the Ethereum Network.

Status is will be an absolute game-changer. Believe me when I tell you, folks. I highly encourage those with even the slightest bit of interest to head on over to their site, dive in and digest as much as you can...you won't regret it!

But you have to HURRY...they'll begin opening up to those wishing to contribute on June 17th.

My first vehicle was a '98 Jeep Grand Cherokee. After it got rear-ended, I keep the tradition going and bought an '05 Jeep GC Limited 4x4 5.7 HEMI. I love her to DEATH, but she's a BEAST on the wallet gas-wise :-(

Another GREAT post Steve! Thanks for the information.

@Jimmy & @Jack - Thank you guys both for your insight and words of encouragement. Hope to get your thoughts on obstacles I'll surely arrive at in the near future.

@Kellie - Letter's in the mail. Hoping for the best :roll:

@Steve - When I first mentioned the property, like I said, it did have stickers/notices all over the front door, but as Jimmy mentioned, the appraisal records still list a female and the property address as her mailing address. I figure $.44 and 30 minutes of my time isn't too much to possibly obtain some sort of lead. I'm keeping my fingers crossed.

@Jimmy - See above...

@Jason - I used our county's appraisal district online records to obtain that info. We'll see what happens.

@Joel: Indeed I am. However, although I'm new at this, I certainly don't feel like I need to jump ships career-wise in order to gain insight into this business. Although I'm in IT, I'm pretty sure my determination coupled with the wealth of info and wisdom here on BP [plug] is more than enough to equip me with the know-how to strive in wholesaling.

Now granted this property I came across is/will most likely be a REO, but no need for me to reevaluate my RE path/goals. I was just simply wondering how to go about securing properties when "driving for dollars", as @Jimmy C. put it.

But anyways, I appreciate your input and look forward to many more of your posts to come.

@Rob & @Steve: I look into those methods and report back with my level of success.

Thanks again guys!

Sounds good. I'll give it a shot.

Thanks Jimmy C.

But what if the address on file with the county appraiser is the same as the property address? Mailing anything wouldn't do too much good, b/c it'd just end up at that house right?

Thanks Guys.

As much as I don't want to give up on this one, I understand REOs to be a totally different ballgame. One that I KNOW I'm not experienced enough to deal with. I'll try a letter in the mailbox anyway and hope for the best. I'm guessing worst-case scenario, I could just birdog it to someone in the area who specializes in REOs.

Lastly, in general, what's the order of business you guys follow when you spot potential deals solely from riding around?
