i would like to add that i tried cash for keys with one tenant in particular three different times, each time upping the amount..for some reason he was convinced he was going to win 25 grand in a countersuit, so he refused..in court, his attorney made it seem like i kept harassing him to move out..the judge didn't buy it and understood what i had tried to do, but beware if you get a bleeding heart judge!

Thanks Bryan,Working on that as we speak :)Your input and recommendations are greatly appreciated and taken to heart.

Buying foreclosures is NOT for the faint at heart.

They were certainly a contributor, but I would not say that they were a "major contributor"I would have to say that the "major" contributors were the greedy banks giving loans to anyone with or without a heart beat (also to their qualifying pets, ha ha) as well as wall street and their infinite greed, finding very lucrative ways to package up the loans and sell them off for billions of dollars.Your thoughts?

The upside is that I did take my lessons to heart and am doing better on each deal since then.

I took that to heart.

And if you believe God knows the hearts and therefore the intentions of what is done and therefore the innocence or guilt.

I whole heartedly agree with Ted.

To all of you please accept my heart felt thanks.

I believe that most people that are raised with principles and see things beyond themselves are good at heart.
