Instead of looking to have stuff handed over on a silver platter, why not do some trial & error tests?

Watch any trial and see how many lies are told by the lawyers.

I can't find what the outcome of the trial was or if they ever did time.

. - As the others have already said, thank you for sharing your experiences (though I'm sorry about the trials & tribulations), as I think these serve as the perfect example of why the 50% rule is really so very important.

With the advice I received I decided to penny pitch, go on a diet (saves on food) and basically buckle down on my spending so that I would be able to purchase all cash at the end of 2012 or beginning of 2013.

That takes some time and some trial and error.

After many trial and error, I think we finally reach a point now that we could kind of differentiate good repair from bad repair and how much it will cost.

It's taking me months of trial and error but good lord wholesaling is the real deal!

I'll sit right next to you at the trial, Mike!

Ok so I'm looking for a property for myself to live in.....I currently have one that I bought at 60% of market, so I've got some equity in it......Plan to sell it as soon as i find another place to live.I'm real new to REO's, and was just looking on yahoo and found an REO that just came up in the area I'm looking to move to.Now I did some research, found some info on realtytrac, and the other through my local tax records......says it was sold to Groff Real Estate Investments on 7/30/07 for aroudn 200k.....it just became listed on realtytrac from what i saw (just signed up for the free trial to get the parcel ID)Guessing its too late for me now to do anything?
