You will discover multiple soft phones and VOIP (Voice Over Internet Protocol) systems for a low price.

Showed me the ropes got introduced to many influential people and now concentrate on REO's full time.

I've expanded more into internet marketing as opposed to just LO referrals.LO's can't seem to grasp that their loan cycle just got about 3 months longer while we boost scores up.Otherwise, just kicking tail as usual.

Internet marketing is a great way also.

Or you can let realtors know you have a wholesale deal, and wanted to know if they work with investors who are buying properties at wholesale.I truly find the internet might be your best bet though(Craiglist)Ask yourself how can you help that realtor, and the law of reciprocity should take over.

As long as you disclose that you are a licensed broker I don't see anything wrong with investing.But if it were me I would just put the license in escrow and just concentrate on investing seems like a pain in the neck situation having to make sure you are in compliance with RE laws in regards to brokering and personal deals.

Typically how I work with my agent is that I do Internet searches and then e-mail my agent the properties I'm interested in seeing, he sets up appointments, and we see them.

The Motley Fool, for example, is a free site--the largest on the Internet--effectively moderated, by the way, that tried to charge for board participation.

Tom,Other than internet leads( waste of time) in my opinion.

Other investors can bid up properties just to make sure you don't come back...they can turn great deals into money losers just to insure their interest as the only ones who get the good deals at auctions.A redemption period gives the previous homeowner a chance to redeem the property after they have been foreclosed...there are typically redemption periods with IRS seizures...judicial foreclosures...and, as the new owner, you do not have posessory right during the redemption period...but this is where it gets a little complicated...the tax stuff is extremely complicated and confusing..most investors won't concentrate too much on it...which some might argue leaves it open for some money to be made if you have the right resources and know the ins/outs of all the rules and laws.
