Keep in mind that listsource is corelogic is First American Title.There are only two main players in the data game FATCO and Fidelity...

The only other main player in data is Fidelity. which runs SiteX...However it is my experience that their data isnt as good..

Sports teams use contracts and hold their players accountable, corporations enforce their contracts, and everyone else in the business World expects that when a contract is signed that it is fulfilled or else they go to arbitration or litigation.

Real estate law is a big game and there is not a lot out there for small players (if you're not buying $5million in RE annually or syndicating)...I personally use lawyers to structure complicated deals I can't figure out, to provide a letter of intent, draft contracts, and close deals.I found a 40-yr RE lawyer who drafts a note/mortgage for $250...worth his weight in gold....I would caution going with a lawyer that does not own investment property or work exclusively in RE.Best of luck! 

I love my profession, and I appreciate dentistry as a gateway to comprehensive well-being, but I'm ready to step out of the lifestyle of Poor Dad, and narrow down into my dream-- to become a successful wholesaler and a valuable resource for other players in the real-estate business. 

Regarding comparisons to other countries, I have worked with the Japanese market for over 8 years. 8% is definitely high yield.

@Nghi Le Vestus  Fairplay Caliber  those are company's that are fully integrated with RE brokerage hard money lending and research and due diligence on each foreclosure.Drop bids certainly do happen not that frequently though.. and were very prevalent in  the AZ market.The organized bidding companies are stiff competition no doubt.Very tough to make money buying foreclosures in the major metro areas your up against the big money players. 

How many other players are there though in the league 5'11" right now?

When you see a baseball player hitting .300 with 30 HR's and 120 RBIs vs .200 with 1HR and 10 RBI's, which one will stay in the big leagues?
