Please reach out to me and I will send an invite out to you ASAP.

I've heard numerous stories on both sides, the ones who fight DNS and the ones who work with them and have yet to hear of anyone beating them one way or another, its best to be their friend.

This site was extremely useful for me and I used it numerous times.  

You will not be effective trying to pitch a sale at the front door so I'd do whatever it take to get invited inside and try to sit at kitchen table.

You will need knowledge on how things will get done, before you invite bids, make sure you make a scope so you will receive more apples to apples bid.

Essentially when you are purchasing a property to flip; you are (presumably) purchasing that property at a discount, so that after your repairs (known as ARV - After Repair Value); the property will appraise for more than your: cost to purchase the property + cost to rehab the property.In numerical terms, say in an area, the median home is selling for $550k and you can get a property for $280k + $125k in rehab and holding costs (insurance, escrow funds, agent commissions, etc), that will = $405k that you've paid out of pocket.

That said, I concur to stay off Facebook which seems to invite responses (some ill informed) as a social network.

Here in NJ, there have been (from what I understand from talking to other realtors) numerous times where short sales have come onto the market, and the buyer and seller agree, then the bank kills the deal and forces it into their auction site so that they can give themselves a 5% premium on the back end since they own that site.  

I coordinate Sub Groups for the Local REIA and would like to extend an invite to come out attend, network and get some great education.Regards,Joe Scorese
