Welcome to BiggerPockets Jacob Shafer.REI can be very lucrative, but it takes a lot of hard work and persistence.

continue to persist and you will WIN!

Key to real estate: Persistence!  

For example, in Miramar choose a subdivision like Silver Lakes or Monarch Lakes and learn about each recent sale, what is on the market and where are the pending LIS or Foreclosures. 4) Be persistent, and do not quit. 5) Communicate with as many people in real estate as you can.

Thanks For the tip Ed, the toughest part for me is to walk away, I'm very tenacious and persistent  I need to learn to take the emotional equation out of my  Negotiations 

Persist and you will win!!!!

@Ben GrantFor a subject to deal your best bet is to go direct to the seller, which will require some direct marketing or lots of networking.Many people are doing direct mail in Goodlettsville and Hendersonville, you'll need to get persistent and creative with your efforts if that's the route you decide to take.

For example, chances are extremely high that you will be contacted by a particularly persistent marketer named Joe Pickett.  

"Tax assessment appeals persist in Baltimore" by Natalie Sherman Feb 5, 2015The way I read it, it seems that because there are so many rentals and distressed sales and the tax rate is crazy high there are more and more tax assessment appeals in Baltimore City, more than the rest of Maryland.Any thoughts?
