I deal with over 90 lenders so that I ensure you that I am able to offer you the most competitive deal for your financing.

I'm too young to remember the 80's bust, but can someone explain the theory of a market downturn to me?

I remember growing up nearby, and nobody wanted to live there.

Ideally, for my first flip it would be great for me to do some of the minimal skill tasks to make sure I stay within a set budget.

And remember I plan on reselling these rentals in a few years after some time upgrading.

Originally posted by "9thIslandRE":I was just thinking... maybe hand written signs are good because only someone who is desperate to sell would call a number on a hand written sign.A more professional sign would, however, lure in the desperate sellers AND the ones who aren't really desperate but they will remember you down the road.

Just remember that profiles created tend to last for ever.

Remember, focus on what THEY get.

I've heard of and actually used a product on this in the past but too long ago to remember what it was (Maybe Lime).

I live in the Metro Detroit area (Macomb County), so there are plenty of fresh foreclosure listings every week.I would ideally like to pick up a property for 50-60% FMV, fix it up, and live in it while trying to sell for a profit.
