The larger call centers who some RE investors use (as have I) have staff turn over and other things that really limits what you can expect for screening.

Although I used to click on memberlist then do a sort by Total Posts.

hello everyone, well anyway i'm a new investor and after some research i decided to focus on pre-foreclosures.well anyway i was told of a strategy that i could use that didn't involve the use of any of my money or credit and will allow me to actually retail these properties to end-buyers and not just wholesale them for a small profit to other investors, it sort of goes like this.1- locate and market to the people in pre-foreclosure, 2- once they contact me setup an appointment with them, 3- setup a land trust with them ( which they will be the beneficiaries and either me or a disinterested party the trustee)and have them sign a "warranty deed to trustee" doc which i will record at the my local court house, 4- also have them sign over there beneficiary interest to you which you'll store away for protection of problems that might come up in the future 5- start marketing the property as well as working on the short sale with there lender, 6- once i have my end-buyer (and hopefully my short sale is accepted in time) have my title company perform a double closing to pay off the first lender as well as myself, and to give the end-buyer clear title without any seasoning issues coming up (which i was told there has to be two separate HUD's, two separate escrow accts and etc)so my questions are: do i have all the steps down correctly or am i missing something?

Sort of what I am in the process of doing for REI.I've been playing this little ETF lately.

The larger price listed on the resale section of the site was actually entered in on 8/22 and the lower price was entered on the REO part of the site on 6/19 so the larger price was entered after the lower... which is why I'm a little discouraged

you know i often wondered this myself.I think a national MLS could be an invaluable tool for a REI.it wouldnt take much to develop a nation system of this sort to be honest. getting folks to use it might though.

You must speak in a commanding “This is mine” sort of voice.

The "we buy houses" sort of folks in your area?

These are bad and should be removed.Gas furnaces of any sort must have both good venting so the combustion gas exits the house, and must have a good supply of combustion air.Jon

Shouldn't he have to give us some sort of notice that he feels the lawn is too long and a deadline to have it done prior to him doing it??
