Here are a few things I think are important when setting up a web site.1.

Hi, All,Just a quick post, in hopes that even one person might be warned away from what I experienced.I just went thru a lot of lost cash and pain dealing with a fraudulent Credit Repair Agency (per FTC).The reason I'm posting this is just to hopefully help someone else by warning them away from these companies.Let's just say i wish someone had warned me about just ONE of the 36 companies described in this pdf file from the Federal Trade Commission....http://www.ftc.gov/os/2008/10/081023sweeplist.pdfVernHere is an example I found posted on the web, described in this FTC document...I3SOLUTIONS.NET, GENE SCHWALEN: Cease & Desist issued to i3Solutions.net, Merle Eugene Schwalen III, by NC Attorney General.Item 1.

If the executor of the estate finds out s/he will justifiably demand a refund.If you cannot comply you may experience some unpleasant litigation, as well as potential criminal charges.Are you really willing to gamble a judgement and lien against your 30-unit apartment building?

Just buying assets at .50 cents on the dollar or better... stay deleveraged..Why would you leveage personally... that defeats the purpose of what you are trying to accomplish..Ie... alot of books and people teach when starting out... to pull cash out of their personal residence...That's gambling yoru sole goal is to get personally free of debt or at a very debt to income... 30% or less or so...So, you build a business that uses leverage to create or find equity and duplicates... and then get equity out...Imagine you were back in times... and you found out you could mine for gold...You go out and find gold... and then put it on the shelf hoping one day it would be worth more... well of course it will....but, the moment you found it... is the moment of highest return...

Welcome to BP, you have found the BEST resource on the web to learn about real estate investing!

I am a web developer and have worked from home on my own for many years now.

My experience leads me to the tax assessors web site, or if possible to the courthouse and pull the card myself.

It's such a gamble.

Shop around some more...especially now with everyone's marketing budget down there should be a lot of web designers out there looking for work.

You will find that this is the best community on the web to submerse yourself in for real estate investing.Make yourself at home and get active!!!!
