I bet while you're providing value to your subscribers you'll naturally find more ways to make money.

I'm open to new ideas but being an overseas I'm naturally cautious about turnkey operators.A lot of them marketing to overseas investors esp. in Australia.

In commercial the deals are bigger and the search process longer so a bunch of upfront work but I don't mind because I enjoy the work.The beauty of real estate is there are so many different paths to take.

If you're structuring deals of this nature, or even on smaller scale but have a good return, I'd love to read your stories and find out the steps you've taken throughout your investing career to master the art of short sales.

It's been on the market since late March/Early may, and we fixed a number of items outside, had some landscaping done, and installed beautiful granite countertops after repairing a broken cabinet. 

We knew from the first time we stuck our heads inside that the house used to be beautiful, but needed to be completely torn down.Closing was... interesting, to say the least.

Some individuals wish to only put lipstick on the beauty and others want a complete makeover.

The beauty of real estate is even if you overbuy, the market will correct your error and reward you down the line.Again, Brian's advice and I will add, no money down, exercise the option now/take the property subject to, and give them relief.

I have seen many promissory notes that relate to real estate that naturally leave a blank line to input the property's address as the security for the loan.

But remember that all markets are "local" in nature, so they will have their own recovery cycle.Market "saturation" can take up to 6 or 8 years, if I understand what your asking, but that doesn't mean that market is not profitable for investment purposes.
