My wife actually witnessed the Sheriff come by twice to serve papers to the LL several months ago.

Call all the I Buy Houses ads in the paper and on road signs- find out what they're looking for...........

I’m sure that the panic and fear that is currently lurking in every news paper, every television station and at every kitchen table could have us all standing in our underwear with nowhere to live and nothing to eat in 10 years.

Call the ads in the paper or online that real estate investors put in to get properties and talk to them.

I bought my first rental house in 1992 and it was so easy to rent that all I had to do was put a ad in the paper with a open house time and I would have twenty people come to the house.

But in a short reply from the New Jersey, they indicated that my definition of birddogging was stepping on the activities of a real-estate broker which requires a license.My definition of birddogging was both/either1) Merely finding information and presenting a possible deal to an investor with a finder's fee contingent on the closing of the deal2) Or finding a property and representing the seller in a short sale and then finding an investor to buy and taking a fee upon close of the sale-- not sure if that is what other birddogs are doing, but from what I read, these two options seem to be the majority of the activities --I am currently requesting a copy of the State of New Jersey's real estate commission's guidelines and regulations on paper so i can read through it a bit more.

Ever heard of "death by paper cuts?"

I just keep hoping my tenants are happy where they are and don't open the paper to se what else they could get for the same rent.

They get me off of the computer and the recliner and lead me to the final goal of being able to spend more time with my family (and my wife doesn't mind me doing all the work I am accomplishing as well :) ).Last month's goals were to paint a room and cover, install and wire into the electrical system smoke alarms, tar paper and shingle the patio.

You can place an ad in your paper or local "penny saver" that says something to the same effect as the sign.
