I haven't had this specific problem, but since it's true that Alabama authorities are famous for moving extremely slow, now it's 10x slower.

I'm beyond baby steps, but still agree with many of his famous quotes.Magic happens at loan payoff be it 15, 20, or 30 years, when CF goes ape-****! 

Analyze, question verify, use your intelligence.Not because someone is famous, has money has a TV show or what ever does it mean their system works or their mentorship is great.Remember, someone with 300,000 followers of which a WHOPPING 30,000 of them are successful is STILL ONLY 10% success rate.

So, if you don'talready know all about that, then you have to learn properly how to buy REO's fromLenders.As I stated above, after reading Lee's FREE ebook teaching it, and listening to Leeexplain it all on the audios you will have ALL of the information that you need tosuccessfully buy REO's from the Banks.Success is all about KNOWLEDGE: being well-educated and well-INFORMED.There is all kinds of MIS-information being passed around by many who arewell-intentioned but UN-informed.Every investor should know the standard language to include in his contracts to ensurethat his Deposit money is returned to him should his deal fail.As it was correctly said earlier, if you flake up on your REO deals you are very likely toput yourself completely out of the game with your Agents and the Banks they represent.One of our famous Bigger Pockets Members, Stephani Davis - also of Tampa - actually knowsLee Kearney and regularly does deals with him ( all the Tampa wholesalers do).

I do know of some semi famous SOCAL investors who have absolutely killed it out there regardless of any economics etc....Sometimes I drive through on the way to the Sierras or Vegas.
