Trying to comply with some anti-kickback law.

It seems like in her interview with Sharon, she was also mentioning something about having sellers screen themselves for her and even send her pictures of properties.I know that there seems to be an anti-guru, anti-course sentiment here. $1,200 is a lot of money but I could easily lose that much by not doing a direct mail campaign properly or by not getting a great deal when I buy.Any thoughts?

Due to anti-steering laws I can not say one neighborhood is better than another.

This means the water is to be blown out of the pipes, the meter disconnected, the water heater drained and anti freeze poured in pipes with p-trap or toilets.

This is a so-called "anti flipping" rule.Although if the housing agencies are trying to put speed limits on investors, it wouldn't surprise me.

Washington state, and Seattle in particular, are becoming RABIDLY anti business.

I once heard Jay call himself the "anti-guru, guru"    and I want my company to be the  "anti-turnkey, turnkey company"   LOL...I did a little research the other day and I noticed that some of the turnkey properties being sold in Indianapolis for $50k-$100k were purchased for less than $5k at auction. 

Here's to our "success"

I know your absolutely correct about anti steering .. but its just he way it is these days.. try to choose your own escrow when your buying any type of REO banks won't have it.. they won't accept your offer...

So anti-primary includes restricts mobility due to mortgage which may cause missed opportunities, your home is unlikely to be as good buy n hold investment rental as a property purchased for that purpose.
