When he told me about the divorce and the house was brought up, he said they expect to do a short sale and are expecting around $260,000 for it but he actually hasn't done the footwork to figure  out the real number yet.

As for some of the others items... some are common sense... but require some foot work.

I'm still studying up on it but from what I've read so far, it's a matter of footwork.  

It also allows me the time to put in the foot work due to working rotating 12 hours shifts.

I know it sounds annoying and like a hassle but to me it was worth the footwork for the profit.

I had conversation with his associate and he explain to me two program they offer.1) sit home use their software and work with two buyer and seller side person they do all the foot work you get check after closing and 50% of the check you give to to two individual who work with you and at the end you give them 1099 for tax.2) work with Marc and him pay $997.00 for Marc's software and monthly $97.00.

Hey there, I am a Realtor and yesterday while I was door knocking, I met a person that is also an agent and a Franchisee with the HV people, he said the method works but he does all the footwork, exactly what I was doing he said, he told me you need about $80,000.00 to start off and not expect results for about 8 months....and yes, like one of the comments above says you need A LOT OF CAPITAL RIGHT OFF THE BAT.  

This also presents a problem as to doing the footwork involved in rental/flipping. 

Theres alot of legal footwork you have to go through, and if you do involve a conventional bank, it further complicates things.

Im willing to do the footwork and get dirty for someone to mentor me and guide me.i want to learn and im open to looking for deals or whatever it takes to help to bring value to a mentor.
