Hey Charles,Here are the answers to your questions above: 1)The construction banks and clients provide their funds at the table to the title company when they close – so no we do not access title co insured transaction funds.

I use Equity Trust Co and for my needs, they are OK.

Apparently the agent isn't using a title co. yet in the short sale process?

Have the PR/executor sign a purchase contract, and bring that to a title co. to open escrow.

However, there are also a lot of properties where the owner is listed as a bank's trust department (ie, Deutsche Bank Natl Trust Co).

Wholesaling and co-wholesaling are strategies that BEGINNERS CAN DO, but it does require education and hard work.

A co-worker has really gotten me doing my home work on investing in real estate.

HUD also has an area on their HUDhomestore.com website which gives you the winning bidder results on recent transactions (it's a button on the upper right if I recall).Mark Ferguson is on the site, and is a high volume HUD listing agent in Colorado.

I'd have to co-sign with Wayne Brooks.

I'm a Realtor down in VA and have partners in PA, DC, MD, NC and WV……even one in Colorado.
