Lee Foster I have a friend that makes frequent visits to the courts.

I frequently see a home listed mid-week, open house 1 or 2 days on the weekend, all offers (if any, haha) due Monday or Tuesday.Most of them that seem priced aggressively go under agreement in that week-long period. 

i could care less. they are happy and every time they give me tips or suggestions on what my move should be. i tell all the agents i work with "you are not the only agent i do business with". if they dont like it, they dont have to answer my calls.I keep a spreadsheet with every contractor/supplier i work with. unfortunately, i update that list CONSTANTLY. contractors lose their motivation, stop calling back or find someone else to work for. frequent contact with them even in between projects is important to keep the relationship going.

And the frequent "if built correctly" caveat before an endorsement.

I get that question very frequently, but the truth is, the seller rarely even cares because their getting the money agreed to them. 

Most frequently I just sell by auction.

Are there any websites you frequent when looking for real estate deals?

We frequently request payment prior to filling in and sending the lease, especially if it's over PayPal or by Credit Card - these are all safe transactions for everyone involved. 

We also do drive-bys frequently just to see the outside condition of the house.

Avoid the newbies even though they have slick marketing pieces.Avoid listening to people who have a ton of book knowledge but have not done a single deal yet but frequently post on forums like they are an expert.
