This house that I am buying has several stains on the dry wall ceiling.

NO Retainer Fees 4.

Does anyone know of a way to locate a list of contacts to get access to REO properties from lenders, servicers and wall street firms?

I WONT lift a hammer until you either give me 1/2 upfront or what I have been doing lately is have the investor deposit ALL the funds into a bank account with both my name and the investors name on the account----He cant pull it with out my signature and visa-versa And honestly as far as letting the investor buy the materials -- HA -- All the average investor sees is the "pretty" side of things not the working end of things, and becides sometimes you have no idea "whats behind that wall" so 9 out of 10 times the investor dosent buy the right items, enough items or whats really needed to put the project together.I'll be more than happy to go to the Home Depot and get everything ordered, shopped, picked up and I may even deliver it ( usually have Home Depot deliver it...more money out of your pocket !)

My son hung out in the trusses while my daughter balanced the plank from dirt to full basement foundation wall.

The washer is currently in the kitchen where a cabinet/dishwasher could go and the dryer is like 10 feet away against the dining room wall.

There is strong demand from Wall Street to put money to work in the mortgage markets.  

Tearing down a wall in the lower unit to have a big front room.

For my houses I always have a French door, I almost never put a microwave because I have the wall mounted vent hood over the stove.

Clean foreclosure house that can even pass appraisal and inspection for a 30 year mortgage. i painted some wall and they was able to rent it out for 1200$ to a nice family. my PITI was less than 600$ a month with a 4.99% 30 years mortgage.The house now appreciate to more than 100,000$ after 3 years.I believe that the earlier to start investing, the better.
