As I have read here on several instances, you really learn by doing.

What we as investors today will not be what we do a few years from now.For instance, in today's market, The Norris Group focuses on rehabbing houses.

For instance, we bought a 12yo house 90mins from tokyo for $USD38K.

For instance, someone could have only $50 monthly cash flow, or even negative and in 5 years sell for $50,000 profit.

More and more states are requiring realtor involvement in short sale transactions (for instance Oregon and soon to be California).

For instance, when doing offline marketing, constantly direct people to your website.

Magazines?

For instance, if you lived in Gainesville, FL, your absentee owners would be getting your postcard and a letter from me, personally addressed and signed in blue ink.

The Bank will not listen to your case of the cost of rehab.I don't believe all this, or else you guys wouldn't be getting any deals, so can someone shed some light on what and how you negotiate under different buying circumstances.In a real life instance, today, my realator called on a short sell for 75k and the lister said she presented an offer to the bank at 55 and they came back at 68.

And don't forget that with time, views of "ethics" and "morality" morph, change and in some instances do a 180 degree turn.
