Think they offer a 5 day trial.

@Chris Nowlin Facebook strategies would have to be established for each persona.The only way to know what works is trial and error.

Its honestly trial and error, always get multiple estimates from contractors and usually the middle ones are more or less on point.

it's normal for everyone to want more money as they go. if your pay limit is $40, dont start them at $38 cause you will hit that limit soon.if you hire someone at $12, they wont have the skiils/tools/transportation to do a good job. u have to find the sweet spot and you will by trial and error.

Leads - from the internet or run ads in local papers.Negotiate the price on the phoneMake a trial offer - a trial offer is an offer well below what they wanted - a TRIAL OFFER  will smoke out their true motivation.Always ask for contract candy - that is anything they can add to the deal - all the furniture, owner financing, interest free note for their balance or part of it, a car, money back at settlement etc.Send a skinny contract for electronic signaturesGet it inspected, have agents look at it, get compsIf my offer is too high, go into second stage negotiations (lowering the offer).Advertise the property for sale - if no takers - have a public auction.With remote investing the United States is your market - learn how to do it and you will always have leads, deals and settlements.Good luck,Charles

It is always great to see everyone and talk about our successes (and trials)!  

It's irrelevant to the negligence, therefore not presented at trial.

Bryan were they on a trial loan mod and then denied for a permanent one??

Trials and tribulations of real estate investing.

I think I like the shortsale but DO NOT like the negotiating aspect cause I don't want to go thru trial and error when others are raking in the $$$ as I type this.
