I have found people who pay more and work harder to get private money than we would have offered them.

Congratulations, you have found one of the most valuable free resources on the internet for real estate investors new and old.

Hey folks,Just got my track search back for a property tomorrow and found:---Recapture Agreement recorded (date) as document(number) made by (person) to Illinois Housing Development Authority, to secure a note in the originally stated principal amount of $25,000.00, and to the terms and conditions thereof.All I can find about a Recapture Agreement is that it is a 0% loan given to certain people from the government for rehab.  

In fact, I've found that one of the worst times to be on the market is the back to school season where the buyers hit a wall and stop looking.

I found a couple gems of neighborhoods that surprised my agent, and we definitely looked at a lot of random properties.

Not to mention YOU found the deal it appears.

I've decided to look outside of the area and found the Central Valley to be most appealing due to job creation.  

Off Market deals are found from hard work but I don't advise you start that route if you are not prepared to pull the trigger quick.  

Should I have found a way to do business in California?
