I've been taken in by deep influence techniques and have the "feeling" of being taken by the guru.

This forum is for discussion of real estate marketing techniques.]

Many of these properties are something I would be interested in investing in - with the proper discount.Is there some process or technique for engaging a bank in such a situation to discuss a multi-property purchase?

If its just someone who is going to the courthouse, getting this info, and making deals with the homeowner, then it sounds like legitimate wholesaling.Using options is a technique that's been discussed a couple of times lately to avoid assignments (which the bank won't allow) or double closes (which the title companies don't like.)

Are there other options or techniques to consider or try?

This technique is definitely one that I would not overlook, and follow up is critical.

I had an opportunity to speak with him a little bit, seems like a sincere enough guy and he seems to have some good marketing techniques. 8)
