I love to fish!!

Ah different kettle of fish all together...

For us its travel,, aviation, fly-fishing, and some nice dining and socializing.. for others I am sure its a myriad of things and depends on where you live in the country and what your interests are. 

Yes Steve, you're fishing, but it's a big lake, I assure you there are note-fish in there.If you want non-performing you might look at foreclosure notices.Yes, the status of the loan is discovered in your contact with the note holder and your due diligence. :)

Your business is very encouraging for someone who is just a small fish in the ocean called real estate investing.

Do you like to Hunt - Fish. 

If you get a NOD in the mail on the first and you as the investor just make the first payments you eliminate all those expense. and you then prosecute your foreclosure on the second.Now if you and your friends are buying very low value notes behind very low value first that's a nother kettle of fish.

When buyers hunt for Wholesalers are they serious buyers or fishing for information to go around the wholesaler without paying for their hard work?

Once you've completed #3, you combine it with what made those areas attractive and then find those properties in similar areas with a lot less investor pressure.Just my 2 cents, but I don't like to fish in the middle of a pond, where a bass tournament is happening!
