Simply, because we have scouts on the MLS, checking for properties, everyday.If you are interested in adding a large group of hungry investors to your buyers list, PM me today.We usually close in less than 14 days!

We have every intention to grow our REI portfolio in a steady pace, making the money getting in.Do you have any favourite locations or know of good areas to scout for these days?
