Axel, talk to Ann Bellamy, who is fairly prolific on BP and was in podcast interview #9, I think - she's a hard money broker, a great lady and I'm sure she would be happy to let you pick her brain about this side of the real estate biz.

Hi ladies!

This thread is dedicated to sharing those expensive lessons or mistakes we've encountered in the world of real estate investing.The purpose here isn't to point fingers or bash each other for the decisions we've made.

If this is your first time and you're having to be active I'd advise investing locally so you can keep your finger on the pulse throughout the entire process.

Frankly, he's a very kind and generous guy and he gave this lady a lot of rope trusting that she would do the right thing in the end.

“Hero stuff”… sure but only because I’m doing what I’m doing for my family.2) Integrity and morality years ago… I made a killing… I made great money flipping paper, houses and doing sub-to deals.But after the dust settled I started questioning my financial success……  at the cost of others … for whom maybe after I made a lot more that I expected on a property, I could have sent some of those families a thank you ($$$).I didn’t.More recently I met with a lady who wanted to sell her mobile home and land … it was rough…She wanted.
