Our local paper reports renting is up over a year ago driven by foreclosures.

BPO = Broker Price OpinionA BPO is when a lender sends out a real estate agent who determines an opinion as to the value of the property and reports that value back to the lender.

The good news is that even during the current turbulance, there's gonna be some solid, stable areas.

I paid off one of my loan that had a high intrest rate. how long dose it take to come off my credit report?

The good news is that I have enough land and zoning that would allow for a second building (lot is too small to subdivide by zoning regs).

I read a bunch of articles last year about the guy from flip this house in atlanta (Sam Leccema) being a total fraud, and they had a news team go through one of his rehabs that supposedly sold during the open house for a profit.

I'll report back.

The are some areas that appear to have potential for wholesaleing houses as well, and I have found a good site that reports pre-foreclosures and REO's.

You are only 1 agent in the office yet bad news can hurt everyone.Your ideas (#2 & #3) are why I tell people they largely should avoid having a license.

At last report 40% of houses for sale are vacant.
