At least in that capacity you can build a buyer's list with advertising and at least start to establish your presence with a home in "inventory".

I hear God isn't making any more.

LinkedIn seems to be a good way of just making your presence, background & qualifications known (it's almost always in the Top 4 results when you google a person's name - and the website itself is in the top 20 websites worldwide).

John: I'm not a fan of debt either, and thankfully thru hard work and Gods help I've paid every penny off that I've owed over the years (except a stupid $47 electric bill I never knew about :rolleyes:).

Send a letter to the owner to see if they want out b4 the property deteriorates too much in value &/or housing code violations build up.Then our RE agent is older than God so she knows who the old retired to sunny south portfolio owners are & she has approached some for us.

God bless.

God forbids, but if real estate dropped 30% shortly after you refinanced your loans, you'd be left with two underwater mortgages instead of one paid-off rental.

What I see highly effective here is persistent MLS search day after day, continuous social media presence, but more importantly is the right connections with REO realtors, lawyers, auctions, and homeowners.

I just thank God that I have the income to cover the mistake.

I will be at the Black Diamond meeting.I have a few meetings throughout the week, and god willing a closing on a resale but if we can work something out I would definitely like to chat.If it doesn't work on a break maybe an evening after you get out of class since it doesn't look like you will have any other meeting options after Black Diamond.BTW in case you didn't make the connection the Plymouth group Paul was talking about is also the one that Ann was referencing.
