Rich,Thanks for posting the book review.If the book is more helpful to experienced people and some mechanics are left out I would like to suggest we fix the problem.Post the key variables that Wendy says are important when evaluating a market at a distance.

It is not uncommon for PM companies to utilize "interns" and this is a great way to learn about operations, applicable laws, marketing, and, if there are active investment property sales agents in the organization, you can learn the mechanics of the Deals as well.

Once you've got the targeted marketing systems, and automatic screening mechanisms in place, it really isn't that hard.

Mostly lenders or asset managers.No different mechanically from other listing.

At least that is implied by the way the drive mechanism is shown.Coming back on topic maybe we just leave the thread to die as no one will stand still if they participate.John Corey

During this time period have the property inspected.... structural, mechanical, pest.

I've worked for a national hard money lender and wholesaler for the past 4 years and am currently seeking to start my own firm here in the Charlotte area.I worked through college as an auto mechanic which pretty much cements the fix-it mentality i have.I was also the operations director at a large outdoor amphitheater for almost 5 years and that has to be one of the most abused pieces of real estate in town.

The problem is by acting as if you really don't have a choice you automatically turn on you resistance mechanism. 6.Your goals must be written.The most important part of the goal setting process is getting your goals out of your head, and onto paper.

I agree - there is usually a "locking mechanism" type thing - try raising the window & snap it out - then look in the channel - there is probably something in the shape of a C or U depending on which way it is turned.....this usually controls the tension rod.....play with that & then make sure they are both locked back in place parallel to each other - then re-insert the window & try it...That in itself may work....

Am I responsible for any mechanics liens or other liens on the property?
