A real estate investor makes money when they buy the property and money when they sell it.If you really want to do the deal, I would recoomend getting the seller financing first, then immediately get a new mortgage asap (since refi's are easier and cheaper than purchase loans to get in todays market place) and put that property on a 30 year note so that it at least makes money for you each and every month.I would also like to add that you make more money buy using other peoples money and knot your own, so I am not sure why the big hurry to pay of the property in 10 years is for?

So I get a call from the Boston Police detective assigned to the case.

As far as building my power team, that is something I always saw as necessary, if I was ever going to be able to expand my market place.

To start, try customizing our homepage with tailored widgets for your marketplace.

However, such inspections will inform the seller on potential problems in their homes that are not very obvious or not easily detected by the untrained eye.

I want to apologize to you, as we don't allow people to solicit other members outside our Marketplace and Dealmaking areas, and it seems that people have forgotten that this is not allowed here in the intros.

If a lender detects, suspects or decides to allege fraud even at some future date they can unwind these deals and come after everyone they choose to pursue.

Any creative ideas for getting in touch with the sellers prior to hitting the marketplace?

One effective way we've used (and still using) is our "Columbo Technique" that I named after the detective inspector Columbo.
