Yard and Regional Signage: All statistics indicate that a majority of new homebuyers find properties by way of the for sale sign.

The vast majority of newbies fail in a short period of time and the number one reason is lack of cash flow.

i work outside of the MLS to package developement deals for investors. what i'm noticing (and regretfully what I didn't plan for) is the fact that the majority of my 500 + investors are tied to projects for the next year or so...

That would be everyone I meet in the grocery, drug store, at Little League, Lions Club, Boy Scouts, PTA, church, the newspaper delivery boy, the postman, the UPS driver and even people sitting at nearby booths at Denny's.Naturally I will tell them ONLY THE TRUTH about how I feel I was treated and with any luck and persistence we may see if TRUTH and WORD OF MOUTH can overcome paid advertising.signed EOCNOTE, I'm not saying YOU should do this.

The vast majority of lease option "buyers" never buy the property.

That is good advice in this case.The real estate market is teetering on the brink of a major downturn.

I don't know if the other investor has made an offer, and I already know that there is going to be some major work with the title on this property(probably more than this investor is going to be able to handle).

Now the majority of the time these houses are not redeemed, so you end up with a house for the taxes owed or whatever you bought it for.Keep in mind that you will not be able to get title insurance until the redemption period is up.The actual auction is held at the county courthouse and normally by the sheriff, but the tax appraisal office or the tax assessor's office will have the information about it.

But if I can get my taxes down by at least half, I'll get a major ROI on my investment the first year, not counting all subsequent years, so I feel it's worth it.Hope that helps.MichaelBP Blog Contributor

Also a point he mentioned that I was getting to (or planned to) was that an Agent isn't going to do that unless your bring major value (unfortunately most don't).
