I recorded a list of what most of the liens sold for and tracked the wins of the clearly professional bidders for research and learning purposes.

Rather than lose more time and gray hair seeking justice, I have decided to make my story and evidence public.

Unless they are married, they need their own policy.Make sure you are added as "additional interest" on each policy so you can track it.

They are the leading agents in the Tampa Bay Area that have a proven track record of taking great care of their clients.

Of course I still need to decide which part of the country I plan on investing in (it's possible I'm moving around the country frequently in the first year, so that is making me think about the most ideal location for an initial investment).Once established and with a track record in Spain, I plan on making my first investment here in the US, most likely in the Boston/MA area.In any event, I'm excited to connect and learn from those in this group.If you know anyone with international investment properties or contacts abroad, especially in Spain, I would love to connect!

One piece here is that yes you can potentially find buyers that will have a premium for successful track record + even furnishings, listings, review - but important to remember that there won't be a premium assessed by the lender in almost all situations if the buyer is using financing to acquire - their loan will be based on the pure real estate value even if they are paying more - just a tip to keep clarified so no surprises that can throw off deals

I found this out after I tracked down and spoke to several legitimate lenders who paid thousands to be listed in the Referral Service but were never received a referral from the site.   

In exchange I was hoping this could be a learning opportunity to help pave the way and set me on the right track for when the time comes after high school to purchase my first investment property and start the snowball.

How do you guys keep track of the financials for your portfolio?

Maybe local individual...you can track them down pretty easily.If it is a big lender like the big banks....well good luck.
