I'm 90% sure investors have to get permits before they can build so just find out who hands out the permits in your area(s).Another idea: try to find out when someone wants to change the zoning for their land.

My rpofit, on the other hand, depends on getting the contract at $420K, because I already discussed the price with my assignee.

do we even stand a chance of getting out hands on this to rehab and sell, or would you even recommend this big of a job for our first time (keeping in mind I work for an investment bank and would be very diligent about calc'ing out the rehab costs and keeping to a sound business plan)any help/criticism/opinions/etc.

Is there anywhere I can get my hands on the softwre without having to pay for the very expensive classes or some advise to get around this road bump

i think using your name as a .com is a great way to promote yourself in this business. it is cost effective and looks powerful on a business card; and as long as you have "Realtor®" or another indication of your occupation on the card clients will know what your site is about.most agents in my office have a registered domain under their name and then redirect the domain to their page on our site. as the webmaster, this is also a great way to monitor who is bringing users to our site as their names show up in the analytics. i suggest registering a handful of domains, market each of them differently then monitor the results, change strategies, rinse and repeat.Sincerely,Rising Realtyps.

I can't wait for some of the other top executives in large companies to get caught with their hand in the cookie jar!

:shock: :shock: I spent the weekend painting and woke up this morning with my hands and fingers swollen and hard to move...still swollen right now..

I have no hands on at all.Does this sound realistic and doable???

If you're dealing with a motivated seller who has had a property on the market for months, you have the upper hand.
