Well, some of you may recall that some months ago I posted a flip blog for the Heart Attack house.

Hello Richard, I hope this finds you well and "at home"...I am currently in Afghanistan working and studying the BP blogs and podcasts every night.

I have read many books,articles and blogs on real estate investing, this is how I was introduced to this site.

Here's an article I wrote on how to stand out from your competition as a wholesaler:http://www.biggerpockets.com/blogs/4430/blog_posts/32194-attention-wholesalers-2-ways-to-stand-out-from-your-competition

Some areas are looking at price drops seehttp://www.inman.com/2014/05/12/home-price-growth-cools-but-unsustainable-and-unhealthy-in-some-large-markets/#.U4ZCrijijy4Affordability - credit at 43% DTI is an issue for many buyers.http://www.homebuyinginstitute.com/news/fha-debt-to-income-296/Your business plan:Look at A and B neighborhoods.Market towholesalers that have leads with no equity in A and B neighborhoods.listed houses, expireds, landlords, fsbos, and houses purchased at the top of the market (2006 - 2008) for low equity.Offer lease option assignments, sub2 purchase or wrap purchase, use a RMLO and a good lawyer.Market for Owner financing buyers.Give speeches to Rotary, Lions, Chamber, etc. about solving problems for young families' housingPost cards to apartment buildings and rentalsWrite blogs about rent to own, credit being tight, etc.Create a meet up group for "Get Your Lease 2 Own Home Now"BOTTOM LINE.SOLVE PROBLEMS FOR SELLERS AND BUYERS.

There have been some recent meet ups if you search the forums, the last one being in Dallas.I've personally enjoyed the podcast as well as the blogs on the site.

I'm joining the blogs primarily in search of wisdom and maybe down the line use BP for deals.
