That takes some time and some trial and error.

After many trial and error, I think we finally reach a point now that we could kind of differentiate good repair from bad repair and how much it will cost.

It's taking me months of trial and error but good lord wholesaling is the real deal!

I'll sit right next to you at the trial, Mike!

Ok so I'm looking for a property for myself to live in.....I currently have one that I bought at 60% of market, so I've got some equity in it......Plan to sell it as soon as i find another place to live.I'm real new to REO's, and was just looking on yahoo and found an REO that just came up in the area I'm looking to move to.Now I did some research, found some info on realtytrac, and the other through my local tax records......says it was sold to Groff Real Estate Investments on 7/30/07 for aroudn 200k.....it just became listed on realtytrac from what i saw (just signed up for the free trial to get the parcel ID)Guessing its too late for me now to do anything?

I know this is truly trial by fire, but he has insisted working without a net is the best way to do things.

Now, I'm realizing that rentals and foreclosures may be the way to go.The first thing I did to get started was to sign up for RealtyTrac's free 7 day trial to see what's out there in my area for foreclosures, and get a couple books from my local library on real estate investing.Somehow researching online led me to your site.

Does anyone know if loopnet has a trial period?

This is not a one time trial for me.

And, save alot of trial and error.
