The biggest trial for me will be staying dedicated, and I know BP is going to be just what I need to continue to stay motivated!

I would be more than happy to sign up today if that truly is the case.With the quantity / quality of leads you are receiving, do you think you'll be able to get at least one closing from each zip code during this 1 year trial you are on?

Otherwise, if they don't agree they are late, the judge sets a trial date.  100% of the cases we observed did not have a trial date set because one of the two other scenarios held true.

After much trial and error with several different aspects of REI, I stumbled upon land investment.

And I talk to a lot of borrowers who say their loans were modified and/or are in the mod process or trial.  

Watch the market place forums too, it's the "Count Down To Launch" LOL.There are several types of conventional options, the "full credit", "step up", "financed option" (actually 2 ways), "set up option" "declining credit option"  each having acceptable variations and the American Option (a favorite of the gurus) and the European Option described, both may employ aspects of the different types. 

There are companies out there whom do the combing, however I lucked out as my buddy bought a company, and provided me access to a trial of 1K addresses.

Learn some nothing down techniques and use themFind sellers and negotiate with them directly (unlisted properties)Ask your agent to send you expired listing dailyMake offers 20% below last listed price on expired listingsMake Trial Offers and  use Second Stage negotiations Flip some properties every month to create cash reserve and cash flow.Always ask for seller financing in your contract offerAsk for Principal Mortgages, delayed settlements and early pay-off discountsTake a portion of your money to advertise for propertiesRun radio ads for real estate wantedUs a skinny contractsHave your agent take out the clause in his contrat "Time is of the Essences"Build in an automatic extension in your contract (have it before you need it)Have fun and build your real estate portfolioCharles

That includes running the numbers with lots of variation; don't assume just one number. 

On one hand, this approach is somewhat of a trial and error approach to investing.
