Thanks Bill and Wayne-The FNMA bid website says an accepted offer is in hand, this has to be recent since when we scheduled the walk Sunday (Monday Walk, Tuesday bid) the property was available.If the bid falls through I will keep BP aprised of the twists and turns, otherwise on to the next deal.

I've never tried this but I think there is a phone number on the HomePath website that you could call with this questions.Let us know what you find out!

For those of you who renovate and rent and advertise on social media sites, personal websites, etc., do you show before and after pictures or simply the newly renovated property?

Great question, I haven't done PPC, or TV ads, I'm working on my lead generating website now to drive traffic to it.

HAMP was supposed to solve this issue with a standard set of guidelines.Serviers website for HAMP adminhttps://www.hmpadmin.com/portal/programs/foreclosure_alternatives.jspIt was so well put together a form letter was to go out to borrowers that did not get a modification the letter basically stated here are your options, one option included a short sale and $x price all the borrowers were to do was find a real estate agent to handle the transaction.

I hope I can be an asset to this website and get ideas to polish what we currently do as we'll as try things we have not yet

You can go on HUDs website to search for homes in your area that are HUD owned, link is here https://www.hudhomestore.com/Listing/PropertySearchResult.aspx?

I was motivated to learn as much as I could to get into real estate investing for myself.I expressed this interest to my family friend and he directed me to this website.

I would appreciate any books, web-sites, ect. that anyone could refer me to.Thanks,Rhonda

I hope to learn from this website and from everyone here as well.
