Thanks to all who come and participate.

I am very active in my local REIAs, but there are plenty of investors that never participate in those.

It is a conservative interpretation of equity and is perfectly valid for someone who does not participate in upside when investing in a project.

I was trying to find out who plans on participating in any tax sale in 2011 ?

Happy Wednesday BP,Im a newby so please bare with me..Today I put on offer on a REO for the asking price (the bank just dropped price by ($25K), $5K earnest money, waving inspection and a 5 day close.

Thanks for joining us and I'll look forward to learning more about you as you participate on BiggerPockets.Do we call you Scott or D.

Finally under a participation structure on an approximately $2 billion portfolio of construction and other loans, the FDIC will receive a majority of all cash flows generated.Another example is Vericrest Financial https://www.vericrestfinancial.com/NoAuth/Default.aspx?

If you have a real buyer and a real seller (not someone who you've been conference calling or emailing for the last month) a deal will be done.Maybe only allow licensed brokers, agents, lenders and accredited investors to participate in the forum?

Make sure that seller’s and buyer’s settlement agents are aware of all parties participating in the process."

I think there will always be 5-10% active with the rest participating some and many lurkers.
