The initial paperwork and inspection is a pain, but once you are approved it's nice to have the "guaranteed rent".

If you’ve personally been touched by the pain and embarrassment of bankruptcy you may think that your life will never be the same again.

I feel your pain, suposed to close Monday on my REO but the appraisal has not gotten to the lender, I have a BAD feeling.

I also tried the USPS service Click2Mail, but it was painfully slow to use and edit images.

Make sure you really want to do short sales....they are a pain in the butt and a tough way to make a living.

The signs are done in different colors --psychological buying reasons behind all of them.

I have enjoyed visiting this forum and find it to be one of the best on the internet.I'm new to REI and have a very ambitious short term goal of creating a minimum of $7,500/month income from real estate so I can quit my full time job and do this full time.It appears from my research that the most viable area for me to focus on is Wholesaling in that I want fast results without using much of my own money or credit.I respect the suggestions of the more experienced investors on this forum because I believe experience is the best teacher although it can be painful and expensive.So I'm excited to be here and look forward to some great times.Much Success!

While it may be a pain in the *** to have to find a replacement mid-project, it's much worse to have to deal with a bad contractor for any amount of time.

I think I may try mailing one more time, but switch to a letter this time that has a specific message for the pains of a landlord, rather than a generic message that can go out to any homeowner who might need to sell.

Hi Jean,It is taking the banks FOREVER to get anything done... from responding to offers, to getting docs signed, to getting to the closing table- the whole process is painfully slow and inefficient, and seems to be getting worse.I'm still waiting to close a deal that I put under contract with the bank back in July.
