Anthony de MelloAt some level you are already see things differently as you see streams of income when most people do not even notice.

It can get messy if you bring a stream of people though.2.

Or they could provide you with a steady stream of business but for some reason the profits are weak.John Corey

I sure would not depend on a stream of income coming from a MM account.

You can lose a little now or take a blood bath with the tenants.

It's a combination of having a more secure stream of business that we can rely on (arrogance to some degree), having lots of work to get done, having heard just about every sales pitch from every investor in our market, and also knowing that in most cases, our properties sell themselves; whether you buy it or not, it'll sell.Like all listing agents, I love earning both sides of a sale.

We also have about $4K/month income from seller financed mortgages and we'll either have that income stream or the payoff of those mortgages.

We treat then at our pleasure or error.I think that at least 2 majors will restate their earnings and there is more blood to flow.I personally know of 2 top 20 ML's who currently dispose of REO's via on line sites who, because of uncontrolable volume are considering trying bulk purshase, small initially but .....A third person I/we work with is personally aware of a significant 3rd I am aware of at least one other to my comfort.I don't wish to argue all the good stuff you chaps articulated.

Asking about the different types of REI there are is like asking someone in the medical field about all the different types of specialists there are out there.There are heart doctors, heart surgeons, feet doctors, eye docs, ENT, radiology, neuro, blood, trauma, pediatricians, etc...See what I mean.

You don't need a hazmat crew in space suits to clean up some blood.
