Beaches AND casino's!

i was actually putting together a jv deal on a vegas casino build and the client asked me if i knew anyone with an reo portfolio, the same day another client happened to ask if i knew any buyers for an $800,000,000 reo portfolio and that began my venture into the reo world. i just happen to stumble directly into a new york investor with $3,500,000,000 in his personal bank account on my very first deal so it has been pretty easy for me when the packages are real. the hard part is weeding through the fakes and scammers.

Nowadays, houses are taking longer to sell than usual, so buying houses with all cash could avoid any mortgage to pay off every month that the house doesnt sell.

Even in the high end real estate market (casinos, hotels, bulk reo packages) you will find that there is a lot of overseas oil money (not necessarily US allies) buying big chunks of these high end US properties.

Especially since casinos aren't even really popular now, and the fact that a vast majority of homes are owned by investors. 

sure they cheat blatantly at the casino but the marine environment is stunning.complacency always costs money,

Haha, Seth I just got back from snow skiing and the casino and leave tomorrow for two weeks at the beach.Pay someone to do the work and go on vacation with the TIME you saved.

Nowadays, authors will have websites and Facebook accounts.

Nowadays, I have lots of experiences to provide sellers who expect me to pay retail.

That's why I really appreciate BP and real estate blogs in general, nowadays :-) You can shop around for a good fit for your strategy, from apartment complexes, inner-city investing, creative financing, and sub30k properties.
