Investor participation is not allowed.

I have taken several CCIM and Appraisal Institute classes and am learning as much as possible about short sales, foreclosures, and REOs.

What you probably wanted to do was become colleagues; for that you have to follow, and when you are in the follow dialog you also make a colleague request.Your comments about the blogs aren't the first time that somebody has mentioned that.There are also articles, bulletins and groups where you might be able to participate.

It is hard to achieve very high returns with much larger apartment complexes, though, because you will face competition from institutional buyers such as REITs.2.

Appraisal Institute has all the information you need on becoming an appraiser.

Both of these types of situations (college rentals and room for rent ads) required a lot more hands on management as a direct result of the type of rental they were, so I would agree with Jeffrey, unless you want to participate full time, I would not get involved in these types of rentals.

I know they need buyer information when issuing an 'Approval to Participate'.

If you come accross a deal where you think lumps and bubbles will be appropriate and the note is to be sold, get with an institutional note buyer and run it by them to see what they would pay for it.IMO, if the add your bubbles and lumps without due diligence, you'll likely end up in a real mess.

It's not a secret, they will tell you that you have been bared, that can include any future loans, bidding on properties, section 8 participation, etc.

If the resident is subsidized while I do not accept any vouchers - am I obligated to participate in his/her program?
