., Real Estate Professionals > Bankers, Lenders and Mortgage Brokers).I posted the same request on that forum and would like to delete/hide this one.

HI - account was temporarily deleted for being my nickname, but am back now, so "bumping" - any advice...?

You can negotiate with some of the debt collection agencies for a settlement, in exchange for them deleting the tradeline, but you have to get something in writing, because you can't trust them. 

I'm a silly person and I couldn't figure out how to delete my original question because I found other threads that asked the same question I was asking, and had hoped to prevent posting the same question.

Delete spam and keep the site maintained to promote discussion.I think Jon has done a great job BTW, (your too Josh) maintaing the site.If you need help let me know, be happy to, I'm usually here anyway...LOL

The goal is not to get junk in my e-mail, I already have to delete by the page, 1,000+, had so much Yahoo locked up my account and got that cleaned up.Wish there was some way to lock up my e-mail, so I'd only get messages from my family and three friends!

Anything I should add or delete???

One of the problems with the education system in the US is that they teach kids to get an education and get a job - they do not talk about being an entrepreneur - get a JOB - why ---- when there is so much money to be made by being an entrepreneur - working your own hours - doing what you like to do - working for yourself - having fun and knowing that you can make money using systems and your creativity -Many years ago as a real estate agent and wanting to be an investor - I soon discovered that the gate keepers (those working at a JOB) wanted to STOP ME from earning profits - so I invented and still use a system called Control and Roll (Bigger Pockets - I am telling not selling - please don't delete this post)Basically I use a Power Prospecting System to unearth real estate equities (also known as wholesaling), advertising the property for 3 weeks and selling (ASSIGN) it for all cash, fast settlement and in  "as is" condition - using the auction method of marketing.Kelli - I feel your pain - I understand your frustration - stick with it and ignore the negative relatives and the gate keeps  - flip properties until you have enough money saved to build a real estate portfolio. 

I have looked at a number of threads posted over the past couple years about this investment model and I see some good information and positive results but a lot of deletions and lack of specifics along with the other posters that provide uninformed opinion.
