There has to be an easier way to make a buck in Texas.

Basically you can get a property under contract for a few bucks and still let the owner try to sell it on their own.

The plane ticket is 250-400 bucks round trip and is fully deductible.

Plus being a broker didn't hurt either.Learn to talk to the sellers, at the least spend a buck or two on an option. dig into the archives on bird-doging, options, etc. but don't become one. become a principle in the deal on some basis.Brian

What type of financing has driven that market.Then another study that I match is not with MLS but with our Tax accessors office is what is owner occupied and non owner occupied.I know its raw data but you begin to see trend lines of what is moving, what is not, where its going, and how long its taking to sell.Some Realtors associations have data plugged into there system that also allows someone to pull non listed dataJust an idea.I made a mistake that cost me a few bucks on my last rehab.

Yeah....only in America will people who pay 4 bucks for a cup of coffee complain about the price of gas and/or health insurance.

I did this for my primary home in Minnesota and got it reduced by 300 bucks.

Great for the wholesaler trying to make a buck off the out-of-town investor... but don't pee on my leg and tell me it's raining.

Or is this just a step in the process to sell all types of items- info, education, properties, or anything else to make a buck?

Jason, a bird dog will simply inform me of the deal, maybe just give me the name and number of a seller, for that they get a few bucks for b/c they really didn't do much.
