I have taken advantage of lots of holiday sales and ordered most of the materials for at least 50% off.The icing on the cake is that we leave for Ireland the day after closing!

If you need me I'll just be over here with an ice pack pressed to my junk.

While it was all well worth it, I also don't want to give the impression that it's all peaches and cream..

However, I'd miss the mountains, the big hole in the ground that we have in Arizona, (The Grand Canyon) the dry heat, no hurricanes, no ice storms, no mudslides, no earthquakes, (think California) no sink holes.

I buy in the blocks no one wants...buy your ice in the winter right?

You get the cream of the crop that way and they get a sale with out having to really do much.

Right now in in the midst of a smaller scale Reno on the parlor floor and thats wrapping up at around 50k.  

Meet bankers on the golf course and get to know them socially, let them break the ice about listing REOs.As a Realtor you can approach any homeowner, in foreclosure or not, except there are special federal laws concerning foreclosures, don't go with the "I can help you in your foreclosure" stuff, just list and sell it, but again, speak to your broker.Wholesaling as an agent, look up "net listings" so, that is a real speak to your broker subject. 

This is my first post, so I'm breaking the ice.

I'll send you a post card.I'm not only tired of chipping ice-- but I'm real tired of paying 3% of my income for the privilege.BTW- I just picked up two properties in Palm Bay w/ 100% owner financing for five years.
