I started sending greeting cards to prospects, with a very personal feel to it.

If not, go to your county tax assessor and look up your property card.

Lastly, and sadly, and terrifyingly, the wild card here is our government.

But banks may also not want to recognize losses that accompany the sale of properties at deep discounts when they are having difficulty raising the capital they need to meet statutory minimums, Olshin said.

From what I have gathered (at least in Michigan) is that if you are going to be a Realtor and an investor, you have to be VERY careful about the deal....I don't want to raise any eyebrows and I am WAY to open about where I think people SHOULD and SHOULD NOT invest in this county (which I don't think realtors are allowed to do).

I just had a heck of time reserving a decent room.GO CARDS!!

I agree, consider this your "get out of jail free" card and move on to the next deal.

I've kept the cost to below 10k, and with a raise in rent of $300.00 per month, this will be paid off in less than 3 years!

For example, there is absolutely no benefit of having joint credit cards.

Especially now since they are the leading asset class to go into foreclosure.This may just be my bias, but i think retail and office may be the best items to buy in the next few years (for those able to) That sector is getting hit so hard across the nation right now and the downturn has been so hard and fast that when the cycle turn comes in the next 3-5 years and jobs are created and economy is improved people will get more adventurous and they will raise in price faster then apartments, self storage (is dependant on moves down It seems and when the economy is improving people don't usually move down), mobil homes i don't know.Of course anything can be a good buy especially if you get it at fire sale prices like today.
