Hey I tell you what, I bought in Bulgaria on the Black Sea Coast in a town called Aheloy - thier is a website for it -[REMOVED] Now the economy in Bulgaria is still growing even in the credit crunch.

I will become an appraiser in no time, I'm excited and intrigued by this web site.

Too far to manage them myself, but close enough to visit periodically.

I don’t know where you are getting your information, but it is wrong.The FED is NOT privately held.Also, overnight lending is a primary function of the FED that anyone who pays attention knows.The FEDs primary purpose is to manage the money supply and maintain liquidity needs.This from the Federal Reserve website: Who owns the Federal Reserve?

Nowadays there are a ton of websites with listings..find the listings and make offers.

Looking at the property info from the Bell County Website, it lists my mom as having 100% ownership and in the deed history it is listed as Warranty Deed as of 10/15/1984.Does this mean that my mother has a clear title and can legally sell the house?

Place the property into a land trust and then change the beneficiary to the new buyer.For land trust info, click on the link on my website on the right.

Post cards, business cards, flyers, ads in the paper, craigslist, websites, word of mouth

Pure bunk.If you could do the following:* create a website for TBers to leave their info* get door hangers and flyers and bandit signs up for TBer to be driven to Web Page* get TBers money together, whether it is a loan from Household Finance, or loan from their parents, what ever* convince the Seller that the sales price is a new appraisal, period, at the time the TBer gets financing approved and funding letter is typed up* learn about credit reports and clearing negative marks (Fair Credit Reporting Act, FTC, etc)* have a goal where 10% down payment is arrived to get good rates* have the seller pay closing costs* you as an agent get 3% now, 3% when it closesThe challenge is helping both the seller and TBer get a win win, not easy.i.e.

Its my humble opinion, but i think your time is better spent raising money than combing through countless websites and papers talking to unlrealistic and unreasonable sellers for good deals.all the personal investing i've done in the last couple years has been with family and/or syndications, and i spend more time speaking with potential investors than i do with sellers.When you've put together a good chunk of cash for down investment the brokers and agents will work very hard for you to find those great deals and motivated sellers.
