I just hope they all don't start dumping the market with homes in a concentrated / short span time.

If all 200 of your letters were concentrated in one area, I would try expanding the area and moving.

I doubt investors at the level of investment we discuss on BP will not see much of anything from these international concerns.I have not read the requirements and I doubt I will as I understand that liquidity issues has more to do with loan concentrations than individual loan underwriting especially in residential lending.There is usually a cut off for the applicability of reserves for state chartered banks and different than national banks.

Yes 2 of my main concentrations are probates and absentee owners.

Concentrate on getting a great deal for the first one.

For now, concentrate on learning about equity and your market.You can buy lists of properties with equity in your market.

As one grows in this business, you stop chasing and trying to force deals and concentrate more on marketing and making deals happen with motivated people.

But really, I'd concentrate on the name without any cartoon stuff or very simple logo like a B and an E, if any at all.

Hey Josh,I thought you mentioned possibly holding one on the other side this year to get a new mix of investors that wouldn't travel all the way to Denver.This way you generate a different concentration back and forth each year.Some do one event first of the year on one side of the country and others do the second event in the 3rd quarter of the year.I think with Denver it was your first one last year and people did not know what to expect.For me it was a scheduling issue and I plan on going this year for sure.I think more people will sign up early as well.

Lesson I've learned...Never rent to a stripper...The one dollar bills take forever to count and frankly its frigging hard to concentrate on counting anyway.
