The way I've heard of it was a commercial loan across multiple properties within the same country.James, Thank you for the advice.

An investor that has skin in the game will be less likely to just walk away when things get tough.If your deal is good enough and you have something to offer, you might be able to get 100% financing.

•Make multiple lowball offers on overpriced properties and walk away.

Not suggesting you were going to but, once most investors find out that investing is actual work and not yachts and palm tree's, they quit.I have to say that I don't think it's a efficient idea to send multiple letters to an owner in foreclosure.

In my opinion, the cross-linking is a good thing because it can lead to more interaction, but cross-posting is a not so good thing (where by cross-posting I mean taking every word from a post and duplicating in multiple places of the varied areas of the site, whether blog, forum, bulletin, article, etc.).A bit hard for me to believe that the management (namely Josh ) would not see the value in allowing this, but again that's just my $0.02 worth.
