"Produce the note" or note owner is a step that attorneys recommend, when if property is in foreclosure and therefore, I do not think I can use that step.  

Wow Tony: either you are in one heck of a healthy sub-group, or your policy doesn't pay anything, or Delaware has really tough insurance regulation!

I am considered a top producing real estate broker in the metro west area who takes so much pride in what I do.

Does anyone have a blog that produces great results or a site that produces better results over a blog?

Ditto for it being agent owned..my buyers want nothing to do with that.Now Renae, I went the same route i.e..cards, bandit signs, driving the neighborhoods and tracking down sellers(MASSIVE waste of time-fuggehdabout it)etc...and found them to be inefficient or if they produced the occasional seller, they weren't motivated enough..While I don't know your financial situation, there are 800 #'s and ways to do direct mail that are fairly inexpensive...you'll just have to do some googling....you can get a voice mail for $10/mth and get good lists for under $100 as well as being able to mail direct from your computer....if these mehods are still out of your price range, then find a better paying job(I don't mean to sound so brusque) so you can afford to do direct mail...

I read something on Friday about the Green movement taking a nose dive - but I do not know if I could find the article again.I do not speak for all - of course - but most rehabbers and flippers want to produce the best product for the lowest possible cost.

Shana some markets are not rental markets at all.In those cases you invest in other markets where you can leverage your returns from your higher income in a more healthy market.Example if you had 300k cash and you could buy 12 properties at 25,000 each that rented for 700 a piece for 8,400 a month could you get the same return in Canada buying a 300k house??

Most investors on this site have found that building a healthy relationship with a realtor could be difficult.
