If I can just start scanning the MLS and get on top of deals asap and be the first guy there, this guy will miss out.The negative emotions make me feel more drive, but I also know not to go outside of what the numbers say.

Always good to scan CL rental ads for that area as well.And yes, it's a great idea to always purchase/rehab rental property with 20% equity if possible (created through some combination of motivated seller, distressed property, and/or rehab).

I can't see people's body language on the phone or in emails.

We were headed down the abandonment path about a month ago, no bodies but plenty of stuff.

The other thing, it's my understanding that folks in San Fransisco walk around naked and saying you think you caught some body part of a possible partner, well, many are pretty conservative here, especially the saw and hammer types, just saying, not that I have any preference, well, I do, but, well, you know, we don't have to explain everything!

I plan to take out a loan from a bank to finance the first FLIP, i always read bout Hard money and OPM but all of that comes with vERY VERY HIGH INTEREST RATE or knowing someone who will be willing to drop cash with some body with no experience or track record (I do not have the luxury of knowing someone).Anyway I am here to take any advice on my journey and I am excited!!!

@Eric Liu & @Brent WatsonWhere the Federal rules come into play is for Section 8 housing governed y HUD rules and Fair Housing Authority complaints.Otherwise the FBI is not coming to your house and counting bodies, unless you're like the house in Houston this week where there were 100 illegal aliens in one 3 bedroom house.

Rick Harmon you're like the Probate 007...So that leads me into my next question if you would be so kind to answer it.I went to the court house the other day and pulled out a handful of probate files.Should I scan each file for the last 6 months or so or are there certain files I want and others I should skip?

To ME a greedy person puts his/her interests before that of any body else.

But you can definitely find the body of the CAR purchase agreement online.
