These agencies have group homes where items posted by Mathew Wray are made available to help them on an ongoing basis; with group homes I guess there are some gains in efficiency so that the number of coaches and such that are needed are lessened.

Very interesting.This Forbes article from last week says that because we fell so far, the gains thus we've seen are sustainable, and in fact says we're still undervalued: http://www.forbes.com/sites/morganbrennan/2013/06/13/the-most-overvalued-and-undervalued-housing-markets-in-the-u-s/Take it with a grain of salt, of course.It's certainly interesting to watch, and a very hot market.

However, not 100% necessary in gaining success.

You might also want to look at participating in some other area of real estate investing that doesn't require as much attention, while allowing you to continue with your job.

This wold also clear any tax off the gains.

While I have your attention, let me ask you another question.

Now that is fine, but you have to be able to fund that losing property when necessary(maint, turnover, repairs, eviction), and carry it long enough to sell and realize your gain.

@Mark Ferguson- They don't tell you were blacklisted, they just stop paying attention to your bids since they think you won't come through.

I just want to have fun with it while I gain access to the MLS and fast investment property deals to wholesale and buy for myself as rentals.

Thanks for brining this to my attention.
