Likewise, I fire clients that lie to my face or that plain ole waste my time i.e. always wanting to look but never willing to commit on an offer.

What about little-ole LO investor??? 

well it could be as simple as your VA calling the company handling the sale ( law office or whatever ) and asking.. in high dollar value states one clue is a 30k opening bid.. hire a VA ( local one) to up date your spread sheet by going to the courthouse and pulling the info once a week on all foreclosures your interested in .. remember this is public information.. you just need someone to teach you how to do it.way back when I started in this business in the mid 70s my Dads Lawyer told me.. you want to be successful IN RE  go learn the courthouse.. so I spent hours learning how to pull out those big dusty ole books and read title history...

I don't think I have seen a "Top 5 Places to Invest" in the past couple years that didn't include good ole Music City.

actually expected something about ole ann the scam, but I guess we just sweep it under the rug here too. 

@Johan Yang Thanks for the reply.

Just an ole real estate junkie.. 

Play with that big ole invisible jet?

@Oles Street A good way would be to learn about what you want to do first by reading books and listening to podcasts, and networking with experienced investors. 

@Oles Street Educate yourself, network with other investors, identify your target market, work with realtors to find properties, do more networking, build your team and make a leap to buy that 1st property.
