-Seek a BPO-Contact renters directly (might be hard since I don't have their names or phone number)-Avoid paying full commission-Consider a 1031 exchangeMy previous postings were from my cell phone, so I think maybe I wasn't conveying my thoughts well to save on tiny-button presses.

Online video has been big for me for years, content, and even Press Releases that get picked up by blogs and have links back to my sites.The biggest item I've taken from the most recent Google changes is to get mobile versions of my sites.

One of the pluses to Wordpress is it's free and highly versatile.Stay away from plug ins and free templates that steal your SEO juice.Another down fall is word press is highly targeted by hacks.You have to keep very up to date with word press updates or your website can become compromised by mal-ware,hacking etc.This is why so far I haven't used wordpress and have stuck with Joomla.Word press is promising but can be unstable at times.I might switch eventually.

Without a distress that's truly pressing and with sellers who just want to "avoid foreclosure", there's probably no deal for anyone other than a real estate agent that works short sales.

As long as uncle FED keeps feeding the printing presses then I believe the sky is the limit for investors.

Most of what I dealt with involved paying money to someone else, though, so they didn't press too hard.

As said earlier you may be hard pressed to get an investor that sees the best case as a 8% return and return of his capital, while the down side can be a loss of all capital and if he signed on the note, damage to his credit.
