If you are trying to post to the BP site, it seems that only "jpg" or "jpeg" file types are accepted, so you'll have to load the scanned image file into some piece of software that can save it into JPEG format (try MS Paint, or download a free software called IrfanView).

I wrote a report on "Choosing Your Niche as an Investor" a while back and anyone here is welcome to download it here: http://www.alanbrymer.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2008/04/choosing-your-niche-as-an-investor.pdf

I try to sift through deals using the 50% rule and then take a closer look if they pass that test.Before I end this long post, does anyone know where I can get data (free or pay) that is historical and for rent, property prices, and vacancy rates ready to download in excel?

I have never been able to recreate their Lee County Florida foreclosure numbers with my own database that I download from public recordsthey tend to over state each month by 20 to 100 percent.

I just download all the info to Quicken Property Management and ensure it gets documented correctly.

I'm not able to download any of the forms provided on this site and I don't really know enough about excel to make my own spreadsheet yet.

It's free, downloadable and highly recommended as a start to your RE investing education.All the best.

I already set up my alerts and downloaded your guide (although I haven't read it yet).

@Marcia Maynard   The things you uploaded were very helpful and I downloaded them all.
