Aka the "fleecing dreamers out of what little money they do have" business.Its was good business sense to bankrupt the company to get out of paying that amount.Just open another company, and continue on.And yet people cry foul when homeowners do a "strategic default" on a property that's deep under water.

it seems a little weird because we're breaking out of the "have a house with a mortgage and that's the one you live in and pay for" paradigm that has always been "standard"The other idea was to figure out some sort of strategic foreclosure path.

I have some ideas I'm going to put together and formulate what I believe will be successful in marketing but I'd like to hear some other strategies that are working for you in your market.

Thanks for all your input Bill, "A beautiful symphony of strategic finance" I like what I'm seeing, I just have to digest it all.

The reason why is very strategic. 

That being the case, the investments you make are absolutely, certainly the right investments...for YOU.Now, as for emerging markets, I'm more comfortable with making a strategic bet on an emerging market than I am on a strong market. 

Start formulating ways to answer the question, "Why should I partner with you?"

The reason I was thinking of doing real estate classes is for the benefits of accessing MLS and learning to do CMA's which can help with formulating the ARV of the homes I purchase.

I plan on doing tons of research and formulating questions before the date so I can get the most out of the monthly meeting. 

But the people who succeed, plan, strategize, and set goals.
