You could just as easily start out buying and holding and end up a millionaire in 5 years with enough cash flow to support a very nice lifestyle.Buying and holding should be implemented when you have plenty of cash reserves and is a hedge for your money.... profit preserving strategy..

I have bought many products on Ebay from USA and though most advertise that they will only sell to USA (needs to be a shift in mindset), when I write and ask if they will ship to Canada most are happy to do so.

If the home sold for $353 last June and was in same condition, it probably dropped in value more than $20k to the banks current ask price.I don't think $250 is too low ball, but you will have to show some evidnece to support your offer.

I didn't want to do marketing or advertising.

This is not an advertisement, I just want to see if this kind of deal appeals to you guys.

Ok I've seen this advertise all over the REI community and frankly I'm tired of it.

I can not help with your lender and broker question, but to explain the other reason for the title seasoning you only have to think to many court cases that you might pursue that require that you advertise in a local paper(s) for a period of time before the case is allowed to proceed.

Property advertised "as-is" and "bank must approve" price (sounds like a pre-forclosure to me).

:D We are now doing our 2nd transaction since developing the 1st solutions and will now broaden the availability.We can't advertise or patent the process, since the IRS will work very fast to stop us from using what works under current tax rules.

Liked it except for a few things like his support of the EVerify system and Universal Service.
