To a homeowner, if they can get a property worth $330 for 10% off, they are thrilled to save $33k.

But hear me out.I get a mentor, yes, but I already have two amazing and successful flippers right now who are giving me terrific advice, and I met a couple more at the class who would be thrilled to help me.

In this real estate market, mortgage companies are thrilled to get a regular payment from ANYONE; they arent looking to see whose name is on the check.

On the other hand, I also am not thrilled about negotiating a short with the lender, possibly doing a title search and then finding out after that the seller has no interest in working with me.

They were all thrilled that even 100% financing could yield positive cash flows here--since I have only invested here with positive cash flows I decided to see how investors investing for appreciation thought!

My bidding is then 12-15% (net to HUD) below the HUD listing price.My motto is bid low and be thrilled if you win--remember there's something new next week if you don't.

I don't want to buy when everyone else is, so I am turning my attention to different ventures, I will still look, but will have the freedom to stick to certain parameters without worrying.I can't justify owning over renting down here, which my wife isn't exactly thrilled about, the numbers for OO (owner occupied) or NOO (non owner occupied) just don't make sense.Andrew

Anyone looking for a great architect/drafter in Denver should be thrilled to have Emilio moving out there.

All that being said, I'd appreciate any advice anybody has for me, and if you want to know anything about the stock market, I'd be thrilled to share information and help out any way I can, just be sure to keep it in a PM.

I have been thinking of reactivating my license since I have a PT job that pays my bills and I do miss the thrill of RE.
