. , as you are so deeply in already I can only remind you of the "QUICKTIP!!!"

The 3 ways to make money that you mentioned are great reminders to keep in mind as I form my portfolio.  

But it is still possible to make it work.At this point I would suggest you talking to seller to find out:(1) What sort of condition is the inside of the house(2) How much do they owe in back paymentsYou can e-mail me if you want.      

Send me an e-mail and I'll get them to [email protected] Paicely-(Real Estate Roland)

They will list the owner (usually including their current mailing address).

Welcome to the site,I like using agentpro247I use them to generate info for mailings, great luck!

It's the absolute most important thing that can drive your profitability; whether you are marketing yourself by social networking, direct mail, on-line presence, mass exposure etc. it's imperative to creating consistent deals.Once you get the leads follow up.And just a general response to the "only take advice from someone in the business more than 20 years" - I would personally revise that to say "only take advice from someone his is where you want to be".

I read the guru posts pretty much as a sport, reminds me of fishing and at these prices, we are in deep sea fishing.The bait is always the same, phycology and marketing, casted by financing opportunities trolling with mentorship.

I am a full time real estate investor and I do a lot of direct mail advertising for my leads.
