I am not a licensed California real estate agent so there is no way other than what's mentioned above to go about locating deals on the MLS.

When she mentioned the 'time is of the essence', she never told me that it was a clause in the contract and what it meant.

I think you mentioned you had one outlet that seemed to have two many wires in it.

One more point: Jeff Tumbarello mentioned that, “recovery of the economy was incomplete until World War IIâ€.

You mention being "investor minded".

I love, love, LOVE article marketing.On the site I just sold, I had one article going to it that was responsible for 18,000 click-throughs alone (on a very competitive keyword), not to mention tons of other supplemental keywords.Articles are an INCREDIBLE way to get traffic, be perceived as an expert, build up backlinks, get more exposure, and a zillion other phenomenal things.Great post :)

Armando should let it go.The best revenge is success and just let her name never be mentioned again

Jon,I have assessed the situation you have mentioned and that will be a deciding factor in my decision.

I mentioned the banks always lose when they enter fixed contracts, so they want to balance their exposure immediately.FNMA & FHLMC were sponsored by the government to securitize mortgages and sell them on a secondary market - the purpose being to loosen/increase the cash flows available to banks for lending.

So, even if we see continued declines over the next 12 months, its a dollar cost averaging situation as far as I'm concerned.Not to mention, I'm seeing a slower pace of REOs coming on the market than a year ago.
