In my experience, people (buyers and sellers) like the fact that I'm licensed, as it gives me credibility and says that I'm not just some fly-by-night wannabe who is trying to scam people.Of course, that's just been my experience...your mileage may vary...

There are several ways to see if that lien is still valid and if it turns out it is not and you close on or attempt to close such a transaction, (it will be known at settlement) you'll likely be looking at fraud charges or attempting to scam the seller/owner.

The auction route is a tough one for someone who can't devote to it full time.

Hey BPers,The wife and I was wondering, how do people devote their lives to RE, and quit their jobs to devote all their time to RE, and still get financing?

This has been the old scam of investors, part of the reason I'm sure new laws have been adopted and such plays on the formation of a new regulatory agency, the CFPB, so far, they don't appear to be very investor friendly,doubt they will be in the future either.As Marc pointed out and as I mentioned, any note buyer will be considering the collateral, the market value.

But I feel if a agent is really good, he is probabally too busy to devote any time to small investors like me.

I don't, I prefer to keep my units full so I can keep moving forward with new purchases and devote my time and resources to those.

While I have been doing some....ok a minute deal of searching for buyers I have been devoting more time to sellers.

It seemed as though he thought I was trying to scam him.Any suggestions are helpful.
