Pleasant area of Cleveland, OH.

You’d be shocked by how little actual screening many PMC’s do!

Purchase price: $50,000 Sale price: $160,000 Contributors: Peter Vekselman Partner Driven and Archie Raglin bought this Pleasant Hill property on Benton St for $50,000.

It is shocking how many get redeemed in the last 48 hours before the close of the auction.If the properties listed were beyond their redemption period such that I Knew they were really going to be sold, I would start looking at these again.  

So far, my experience with LMHA has not been pleasant.

So am I every shocked by reality disconnect, no, that's the new norm. 

I ask because I've interviewed a number of general contractors over the years for my various real estate projects and am shocked at how the vast majority showed up to the job site to give an estimate in a vehicle that did not display their contractor license number or business name.Aside from this one issue, they'd often have great portfolios, long list of successful permits I could verify they pulled, great references, no complaints on their license, and had been licensed for over a decade.

Is a certain investment in any course good, it really depends on your situation (assuming the course is a good one)If you have $2M sittinig around your wanting to start buying notes with (or real estate), spending $16k or whatever probable isn't a bad thing,,if you have $25k to invest, then you may want to wait until you have more to invest.I am always shocked to hear people say (or write), they just spend thousands for a real estate course, but actually they don't have any money to start investing.  

I am still in shock what the repairs cost are with a decent contractor who won't budge off his prices whatsoever. 

I'm pretty sure it had to record to an SD card but this was 8-10 years ago, and I'd be shocked if they didn't have cloud recording models today.
