This gives me even more motivation to get the place rented as I race the agent to find a quality tenant and save myself their commission.

My Broker asked me if I'd ever been to the drags (he raced Baja 1000 each year).

As it is starting in London this year I am a volunteer race marshal.

On "turnover" of my rentals he would say "I'll paint the interior for $200, you buy the paint".After a day or 2 he'd ask me to bring over my lawn mower, weed whacker and hedge trimmer, then he'd want all the cleaning supplies, etc, etc.

tired of the rat race and rehabbing for investors anyone need a good honest hand shake sort of guy, if you have the cash i have the sweat and know howMy first time in post, sure hope i can do this, my luck ill git BILLED

Now it becomes a race to see who can adapt the quickest to exploit the new opportunities that always present themselves when things like this happen.

He then introduced me to another investor from which I learned a great deal ( which seems like common sense now) and I was off to the races.

Do you guys find there are a lot of other investors on these lists that the agents give out of new Reo's and that it is a race to beat them?

If you learn the business and buy right, you can reach your dream of getting out of the rat race.

It cost them dearly.Watching the “trends” would be a smart practice and I know the “big boys” of investing do that, so they don’t end up with a “stall” of purebreds with no race to go to.The “greed” of some investors is so intoxicating that, like an alcoholic, they never see disaster coming because they’re not looking anymore.Almost every night, the networks bring their “doom and gloom” reports of how horrible it is and how much more horrible it will probably be very soon.
