:mrgreen: For full screening, may I ask students pay for the service?

--do the numbers and concentrate in certain price range homes --where you have enough profit margin and many hoems -- called farming -- then spend more money more effectively in that area -- Do not cut bandit signs in half- have a Website --with auto responder and landing page -- use google voice with answering --script --screen callers --get only motivated sellers -- direct mailing letters and post cards --hire students at $5 per hour to make phone calls - FSBOs -- and research Criags list -- place ad on Craig list, local Sundays paper - community papers and Penny Savers papers --You are buying a Business and Freedom with lot of income -- you pay like Franchise Fee for Subway or Mail Box etc --so $ 5000 or $ 10,000 is not too much --if you have time and willing to work full time 60 hours a week until you Flip two deals --then let other employee do all work -- I assume --you said you are only Marketing for Motivated Sellers --meaning you have lots of Cash to buy your self and do rehab or Flip ?

Given the fact most sales are cried 'without any representation...'.

These situations are a far cry from someone who utilizes this arrangement as a business model doing deal after deal after deal.When you are doing any activity as business, a repetitious activity you will be viewed as a dealer or an operator, that is what you really are you are not investing as that term is used here by those seeking a better public image calling themselves "investors".

I did some renovations to the property and am now renting it out to 5 Rowan University Students.

I'm not sure what to do.I don't know why my score is so low, I've had a mortgage for 2 years, three student loans for almost 4 years, a credit card for 8 years never late on anything, I had one collection 5 years ago, but it's been long settled.Is there any quick fix that will raise my score only 10 or 20 points?

I'm currently a college student in Miami,Fl who really wants to get into rehabbing and flipping houses, but I have little to no credit.

Making lowball offers is not that much of a problem, just don't get stupid like a few people I've tried to work with :cry: (lease with option to buy for a year, no money down, $1. earnest money with an offer of less than a quarter of the asking price, maybe I'll buy it in a year and I can back out at any time).

i recommend to all my students, to locate their buyers first, before attempting to contract on any property.
