But I wouldn't go plunk down the $20 grand as a lump sum either-- gonna make the bank ask where you got it and that might lead to questions you don't want to answer-- again make sure you are not paying a prepayment penalty.I would advise against the 2 year balloon.

Buying an Index Fund of the S&P 500 (500 largest companies, so not likely to all go bankrupt) and never sell, but have methodical buying leads you to buy more at the bottom.

Then if they don't have it, I can give the notice on the 2nd and save 4-5 days of "kick out lead time"There is nothing about a required grace period in the state statutes, and I don't have to allow x days for mailing.

Great Info Chris...except discarding the reo's , There has to be a way of working those leads-short sales?

Next and most importantly is that the parents sign the lease with one lead tenant.

I do know the area pretty well from running sales leads in my day job there.

every seminar that you buy will only lead you to another training and another training and another....go to meetup.com and find meetups that you can go to for little to no money and network and learn as much as possible.

It seems to me there is one extra person in the this equation....I would think if I'm paying for a lead that leads me to a deal I close, that lead should be with the actual seller and not another wholesaler if I'm doing all my own negotiations???

Also, you can do some advertising for short sale leads, and let the leads contact the realtor.

I remove all spigots leading outside for this reason.
