Welcome Chris to the best Investor resource on the internet.

(Another reason I don't care for internet LLC form stores, BTW).

Investors do buy bulk REOs, but you want find them on the Internet.

Being forward, this is my first post on Biggerpockets, and yes, I do work for Meridian, as our Key Accounts Manager.Biggerpockets has become a fantastic forum for investors, vendors and turnkey operators, so I thought I could use this stream to help clarify some of the concerns mentioned about programs like ours.For some context, I actually came to Meridian as an internet lead turned investor over 4 years ago and liked their business model so much, I came to work for them.The program we offer is actually a Rental Warranty, not a guarantee, which is a big difference.

Some people just make a bad decision once in their life and then they are labeled and treated like they will forever be the scum of the earth.Just do a search for a list of felonies:Issuing a false certificate 175.40Sports bribe receiving 180.45Tampering with a sports contest in the first degree 180.51Rent gouging in the first degree 180.57Unlawful possession of a skimmer device in the first degree 190.86Promoting gambling in the first degree 225.10Possession of gambling records in the first degree 225.20Gaming fraud in the first degree 225.60Possession of unlawful gaming property in the second degree 225.75Use of unlawful gaming property 225.85Obscenity in the second degree 235.06Eavesdropping 250.05

I got tired of each and every month feeling like im pulling a las vegas gambling machine switch wondering if im going t8 get my rent for the month.

If you'd rather gamble tens of thousands of dollars on the same information you could get here or from reading books and taking action yourself just to feel like you've better earned your knowledge or have put in more somehow that's your perogative.

I have searched the internet and not found anything that works to fix the Excel workbook text converter problem.Can anyone on Bigger Pockets help me?

Thanks to anyone who can help out - we will do some Internet digging as well, but wanted to start here b/c everyone is so generous with their knowledge!

@Brian Borchers,You should talk to an experience lawyer in your area to get the facts because there is a lot of hype and misleading info on the Internet and you sure don't need bad advice.
