Rich, Can you clarify that "hard money loans" means you are acting like a bank, lending to investors at the fixed % you mentioned, for a set period of time and a set up font boot (points)?

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 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 :)
