@David Begley   I hear what your saying however in a practical sense and only from my personal perspective of being a HML... ( I had a 30 million plus book of business with our own cash and bank facilities we loaned from)...

E-LOAN in practice doesnt, in most cases finance mortgages under 100,000 because they make little money, plus its difficult to resell the loan to another company.

has anyone heard about the seo contests going on for web folks?

Also, when applying for a loan, the standard practice for banks is to take 70% of your rent for income.

It also rates high in SEO.

With a glut of inventory already on the market in most areas; the subprime fiasco causing lending practices to tighten (thereby shutting a lot of potential buyers out of the market); a looming avalanche of foreclosures; and a pending recession; who are you going to flip to?

Search engine optimization (SEO as it's called) is a specialized field, and few people, even among those who do it for a living, do it well.This is a great point!

If it is something pretty straight forward, as described in IRS Publications, as an established industry practice, etc... then that's how you should do it.

That would be practicing RE w/o a license.The system is very gumby-like and able to mirror any form of seller financing w/o many of their pitfalls.All the best,Mark
