I recently stumbled across a few private money lenders and now understand the value of OPM!

Sorry, the realtor was working with me on a "different" property.The FSBO fell into my lap.I will share numbers after I get it under contract, the seller has internet access and don't want them stumbling across this forum as I realize now my name is visible and the seller knows my name.This forum is also one of the first hits on google for "my name real estate"Let's just say that I'm getting a deal that other people would be envious of.

However, the problem i've stumbled across is that just prior to my closing the municipality revoked the homestead exemption and have created backtaxes for the difference.

I would love to buy more in San Diego, but like you said, the numbers make it tight unless you stumble onto a sweet deal.

I honestly just stumbled upon a possible deal and I really don't feel like I am ready to put it together.

In the end I stumbled on to the group I am with now.

I started investigating real estate at the beginning of the year and stumbled on to BP in that process.My father was a real estate investor, and I spent my summers painting, cleaning, mowing, and snaking sewer lines.

Best deal ever was the only non-REO I ever purchased...My closing attorney and his wife were taking a walk one morning and stumbled onto a garage sale.

Charles,I don't know if there are any advantages for not sharing your profile, but I will tell you why I didn't share my profile when I first started.I think my main reason was that I hadn't told everyone that I was investing in real estate, so I didn't want to disclose all my personal information for the fear that someone I know might stumble upon BP and learn what I was upto.

I don't know if that was the exact verbiage but I know I stumbled on it.
