So I door knock.I place free ads on CL, and find leads off Zillow.Ive yet to get my first deal, but fingers crossed that my hard work will payoff soon.Do you have any advice!

It was worth the money to not have to lift a finger in handling the process.

If you can align yourself with a broker or realtor who can help you with CMA's, then having MLS at your finger tips is easy.  

He has more knowledge & experience in the tip of his little finger than 95% of the members here on BP !!! 

Several management companies are able to automate specific reports and will work with you on what you'd like to see and how often you'd like them to send this data, other companies may have an online portal designed for investors so you have all of that information at the tip of your fingers at all times.5.

My poor fingers got tired of typing the same thing over and over, so I put my tips and tricks in a blog post.

We had already spent a bunch of money during due diligence, and just by closing we would have $75k equity in the property.My W2 job and my credit limit (fingers crossed I don't have to use it) are acting as security for me to keep this property alive.

I'd suggest, since you're new, to keep your fingers crossed and not get involved with the appraiser.

We monitor these to keep a finger on the pulse of what's going on with pre-foreclosures even if we are not working with that property.

There is a wealth of knowledge right at your finger tips.
