The first deals sounds like a gem but it also sounds like it's in Detroit.

There is always a hidden market for buyers...just like the one we try to find for sellers.Raleigh is a big IT town with more men than women.

"Hidden Credit Repair Secrets" by Mark Clayborne is a fine book to lean some interesting tactics to have to improve credit FICO scores.

After doing analysis for couple of weeks, I made offer and am in contract an REO property: 23527 Hidden Maple Dr Spring, TX for $100k.

Rick captured a lot of what I was thinking, so I won't repeat any of that.I will point out that old houses will have hidden defects, and a $10K contingency on a $150K hard bid really isn't very much.

well, once you spend some time reading on this site you'll see that not all tenants are gems, haha!

Even do deals with each other.Since I am a private lender, my hidden agenda is for me to meet experienced rehabbers to whom I will lend money to.That's right.This Meetup is for serious wholesalers and rehabbers who want to make 2014 their best year yet as far as real estate investing is concerned.If you are a wholesaler and you have a real estate deal you need to sell...you should attend.If you are a rehabber who wants a good deal and the FUNDING to buy a good deal, you should attend.If you're a newbie and you don't have a property to wholesale, you should attend.If you're a contractor and you want to meet rehabbers who can use your services, you should attend.If you're a real estate agent and you want to meet cash buyers who can buy your REO and shortsale listings, you should attend.If you're a real estate attorney, mortgage broker, banker, insurance agent...and you want to grow your client base of repeat customers, you should attend.Unlike other Meetup where you pay for your lunch, your lunch is FREE.To attend, please RSVP below by saying "I will attend.

How do I show my property to end buyer if the seller won't leave lock box or hidden key for me.

Do your research and every now and then you find a gem.

Well, from what I've heard (I haven't done enough driving around myself), there are some potential gems in the Detroit historical neighborhoods of Boston-Edison, Sherwood Forest, and Lafayette Park.
