If you're looking to save time answering phone calls by answering e-mails instead, a website or blog with information and photos on your properties will accomplish that.A blog would be less expensive to start with; in fact, it's free at Blogspot.Finally, I would recommend advertising on Craigslist to send people to your website or blog.

Hey all - A friend of BiggerPockets, Greg Swann of Bloodhound Realty, recently put together a free e-book on divorcing real estate commissions that I thought you might be interested in.According to Greg, As long as consumers know nothing about this, the fleecing will go on.Here's an excerpt:Question #1: “Potential buyers for our home ($800K - California) have a realtor but he did not find our home for them.

Just getting starting and still in the education phase.I'm a working agent in R/E for the last 1 1/2 years with a strong interest in investing.

I'M a R/E agent in Seattle just getting started investing.

It takes ALOT more work then your every day buyer and seller, but repeat business is worth its weight in gold, and friendship will last a lifetime.In this market, investors are the key to being successful, and this would e the site to meet them by my prediction. again, good luck!!

Iam going through an arduous process with WAMU myself.My case:I have a Condo (primary residence)1st and 2nd mortgage with WAMUtotal owed: $680KI knew I would get into trouble because my business went flat a 5 months ago and my cash reserves are being extinguished.I downloaded the information from WAMU site and submitted a complete package with an offer from a neighbor that is interested in buying the property if price is OK.I submitted ALL documentation to WAMU with the offer, proof of funds (50% downpayment) and prequalification for buyer through Wells Fargo.Offer $375,000 - prices for 2003 as per tax records.Nothing has been sold recently (18 months frozen market).WAMU sent an appraiser on Sept 02 and by Sept 04 the appraiser confirmed that the report had been submitted to WAMU through the third party company that manages Appraisals requests (REM).I have the name, extension number and e-mail of my negotiator but it has been IMPOSSIBLE to talk with her or to get anything from her.Her last (only) e-mail on the 23rd said that she didn't have the apparisal report (I tried to get to her to try to resolve it, but nothing back).Now she is in vacations until the 14th.I had been on time for my payments until August.I haven't made my payments for September - cash reserve extinguished.When will this default start affecting my credit score?

I'm on this guy's e-mail list from Chicago and this was the title of his latest article.
