If you know where any more notes are that can be acquired for $.20 on the dollar please let me know and I’ll be interested in those that you do not purchase. :-) back in the day and not a big deal flow.. and all land contracts on bare land.. to put it in perspective. :)

I’ve realized I need additional help—someone local, like an assistant.Here’s my idea: I was thinking of purchasing a small piece of property and putting something modest on it, like a single-wide home or a similar small structure.

The more that you talk the more potential buyers see what they are dealing with.Lori you purchased a property that was occupied.

Quote from @Alberick Small: I was thinking of purchasing Lee Arnold's Reverse REO Program, I have read all the horror stories and the many that may have been duped over the years.

I recently purchased a 2 unit property as owner occupied with one unit already rented out. 3 months after closing, I was laid off due to a restructure at my company, so I decided to rent out the other unit my girlfriend and I planned to live in.

So far I've owned the place for 4 months and have not had any issues with my tenant yet.Am I Happy With My Purchase?

No qualifying and the ability to use your money to purchase something else?

A good sign of an agent is how much business they are doing on the purchase and sale side. 

Obviously if I intend to have a top performing STR in this market, my buy box will allow for a much higher max purchase price, but I wouldn't feel comfortable with shooting for the max if there aren't clear ways to beat these competing properties.

With software like propstream I can even look at seller mortgage details and MLS private remark.Getting license you only know the legality aspect of being an agent but doesn't necessarily means you would be a smarter one to get to know the market.The only thing that I can not do with propstream is I can not download all disclosures when I try to purchase.
