His section about how the bailout is the name of the game is so prevalent today despite being written back in the 90's.

Since the K on the keyboard is so much closer to the N than the Q it makes one think you were trying to say Iran.

This past week I picked up another property on a QCD for peanuts.I want to know, too, what is so wildly profitable.

This is also true and is the reason that there is so much more regulations that we are having to endure everyday (so it seems) with our actual lending and borrowing practices.

.- wholesaling, fix and flip, buy and hold etc.The reason this is so important is because you can't possibly know how to buy a property until you know what you want to do with it.For instance, if you want to wholesale the property, then you don't need any money or credit as you will just be putting the property under contract and then selling it to another investor who will be using their cash to close the deal.If you are looking to fix and flip, then you are probably going to have to look for a hard money loan since most loans being offered by banks today are FHA loans and no fixer upper is going to qualify for an FHA loan.If you want to buy and hold, then you might be able to get a conventional loan, you might want to still look at a hard money loan, you might want to look for private money etc.

But if you think about it, what James is saying is that there is so much information here, but it is contained in "books" or subjects.

Mark is exactly right which is why it is so important to go direct to the listing agents for REO properties, you have a much better chance of getting the property as they get paid more and they like that.Besides, having a buyer's agent find you REO properties will only be properties listed on the MLS which in many areas, puts you as an investor out of the game.

Is so, why aren't they renting it?

I know when I asked a similar question in Feb, it fizzled.On the other hand, it is so important to understand and accurately predict trends that affect your business, and make the right decisions to take advantage (or protect yourself) in these changing times, so I'll throw in my two cents.Thing will slow down seasonally in Q3 and Q4.

But there is so much more than just free speech.Now the Federal Government will HELP you buy a car.
