I've gotten several spin offs from doing PM now, and just sold a couple of listings that I had been managing to a new owner who will have me continue managing these properties.  

If you've figured out how to survive as an editor in the publishing world, you can figure out that intentions without action will not get the job done.An awful lot of people spin their wheels here trying to find "deals" without money, training, research or discipline. 

I have been with Nouveau Riche for the past two years, and yes, Renatus is the new spin-off company.

Yes, it's a scam, OTH, if you read stuff, guru stuff, take out the claims of riches, take out the RE technical issues, take out their legal opinions in telling you what is perfectly legal, you may have an inspirational read that might motivate you.And as mentioned, such books are at the library, glanced at some but I can't take much of that stuff, but I did see some strategies in some pointed out as "new" that were nothing but spins on some really old stuff.But, as long as people just want to be feed how to make a buck without any real study and effort, I guess the gurus will always be around.

I agree that during the peak years you, Rod up in Vancouver, and my brothers and I were buying the majority of the deals.

I then ended up moving to portland and found my "DREAM JOB" at a high end hot rod and custom fabrication shop. now that I'm finaly where I wanted to be in life ive found its not really where I want to be... so i figued its time to start looking for a new passion and i have always had a love for houses and their design or the landscape. so i figured i would start looking for a way to get my foot in the door way and the best way in for me has always been geting educated in all areas first and then take what i know and find the direction that i want to go!

So you know off back it isn't luxury we are expected to receive with this the majority of the time.Now of one (1) part in our Power Team we've buyers who for any product type we could spin deals to and thru will cover on average 4-8 pieces of property a month and always looks to the table to buy borderline deals; cash buyers.

I'm a beginning investor looking to build my business on wholesaling and, although I respect what others have taken years to build, I don't want to spend years spinning my wheels trying to get started, losing money in the process, when there is a product available that could (1) point me in the right direction, (2) help me with a clear action plan (do this, this, this and then this) and (3) provide me a tool to take the marketing piece to the next level.  

The backlinks to my site helping my rankings are NOT made by spinning fluff articles all over the internet.My backlinks come from REAL content, from relevant places on the interwebnet:We have a company Facebook Page with links to our siteI'm active on Bigger Pockets forums, member blogs, & BP blog posts, and each time I post/comment my gravatar or signature contains links to our siteI comment on J Scott's blog page, gravatar has links to my siteI comment on Danny Johnson's blog page, gravatar has links to my siteI post Craigslist Ads (NOT spammy) with my G Voice number & links to our websiteI post & comment on LinkedIn every once in awhile, which doesn't have a direct link to our site, but if they click to see my profile, that page has a link to our website.It's not as hard & convoluted as some people seem to think to get yourself ranked on Google & get quality backlinks.

There is a post in the short sales forum about contracts and timing that provides an interesting spin on double closings...something called the BLAST (Buy Low and Sell Today) transaction that combines an Option Contract with a Notice of Option that is actually filed with the county..the guy who posted may have some insight on these double closings as it sounds like he has been successful with them.http://forums.biggerpockets.com/viewtopic.php?
